Sunset in Santorini, Greece
Background
This
breathtaking spot is an island in the southern Aegean Sea. Santorini is essentially what
remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest
settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological
caldera.
Accommodation and activites
Wine and dine
The
island’s fertile volcanic soil nurtures the local agricultural products,
endowing them with top quality and a unique taste. Some of their unique
products are:
Fava
beans- Used in many recipes, ranging from freshly boiled plain fava to fava
with pork or with tomato puree, or as a soup, with rice or in an omelette,
these peas are popular with visitors to Santorini thanks to their fine taste.
White
aubergines- The magic thing about this variety of aubergine is not just that it
has been coloured white by the volcanic soil. It is also that the bitterness
sometimes found in aubergines is completely absent and instead the flesh is
sweet and juicy.
Capers- Both the flowers and the leaves are used in
local cuisine for their spicy sharp aroma.
Cherry
tomatoes- It was in the 18th century that the locals first cultivated this
variety of tomatoes, which owe their unique taste to the arid soil of the
island.
Their rich
vineyards allows for the production of
Santorini’s fine wines.
