It rests near the most active volcanoes of Greece whose eruption in 1500BC caused both the violent destruction and submersion of almost half of it. Santorini has a great tradition of winemaking that ties in well with the sumptuous cuisine on offer. The ample vineyards are a testimony to the richness of its volcanic ground. And for those feeling a tad guilty of eating and drinking their way through Santorini, the 600-steps leading to the city of Fira will probably be the most scenic workout you will ever experience! Medical Tap water in Athens is considered safe to drink. Medical facilities are adequate but expect long waits at surgeries and hospitals to receive treatment. A reciprocal agreement with all European Union member states means that emergency medical and dental treatment is free for all EU citizens and those from Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland on presentation of a valid EHIC (European Health Insurance Card, which replaces form E111 as of January 1, 2006). If you do not already have a EHIC, applications can be made through the post office or department of health in your country. Greece also offers reciprocal healthcare agreements with other European countries. You should check before travelling as to whether any such agreement exisits between your country of origin and Greece. Full Story » |

It’s an absolute must to explore the impressive villages that are dotted all over the island with their characteristic Cycladic architecture of snow white houses and domed dark blue roofs. The donkey ride to Fira, walking on charcoal-coloured sand of an active volcano or swimming in the mineral hot springs are a few more of the island’s charms.
