- The Eruption
- Santorini Name
The position of the island is between 2 huge plates, when
these 2 plates moved that we have earthquakes and eruptions.
The eruption of 1625 B.C. caused the island to remain
uninhabited for 300 years and the destruction of the
Minoan Civilization.
The history say that 200 meter high tidal wave (tsunami)
from the volcano of Santorini reached the coast of Crete
and cose many disasters. Many earthquakes followed, which
caused the 3000 feet crater to collapse inwards and break
the central and western parts of the island in 5 different
pieces allowing water to fill in and create the present day
the Caldera. Approximately 83 sq. kilometers of land
disappeared.
Historicals believe that Santorini is connected with the myth of
Lost Atlantis, then what a better place for accommodation in Oia,
welcome in hotel Atlantida in Oia Santorini Greece. | | |

Today Santorini for the Greeks call Santorini or Thira.
The island take it's name Thira because at the northern tip of
the Caldera rim, was the entrance for the commercial boats of the island,
at the past Santorini was a big naval power in Cyclades .
However through the centuries Santorini island take a lot of names.
At the past the philosopher Platon called the Santorini (357B.C.) as
"Strongili", which is
mean the Circular Island probably because of it's unregular shape
(the shape of the island remind a cycle).
The second ancient name of Santorini was "Kallisti", and its mean the beautiful
island, it has took probably this name because is describing the uniqueness of the island
and for its beauty. Are exist many legends for the name of Santorini,
but from all the most widespread is that the island take the name Santorini
by the Venetian crusaders, as they approach with their boats the northwest tip of the island Santorini
they recognizing the island from a small chapter at the end of the land of
Agia Irene, was located in the northwest tip of the island which is not exist anymore. |
