Ancient Thira
The archeological site of Ancient Thira is located at the top of Mesa Vouno, a very short distance from the village of Kamari. It is the ancient city founded in the 8th century BC by the Dorians. The prosperity of Ancient Thira is observed mainly during the archaic and Hellenistic period and is characterized by intense building activity. It ceased to be inhabited in the 3rd century AD due to the dangerous Arab invasions in the area. Today, in the ancient ruined city, the Agora, the sanctuary of Artemis, the temple of Dionysus, the sanctuary of the god Apollo, the cemetery and the theater stand out.
The location of Ancient Thira offers a magnificent panoramic view of the whole of Santorini and the nearby islands that will leave you speechless.
Zoodochos spring cave
During your ascent to Ancient Thira you will meet the path of Zoodochou Pigi. Following it, after 15-20 minutes of walking you will find yourself in the small and all-night church of Zoodochou Pigi. Right next to the church is the unique cave of Santorini. Inside, gushing drinking water - holy water. The location offers coolness and breathtaking views, making it a pleasant relaxing break for area explorers.
Eduart Gjopalaj Workshop - Gallery
Eduart Gjopalaj Eduart is a self-taught sculptor born in Lezha in 1978, a small town in North-West Albania by the Adriatic Sea. In the early 90s he moved to Santorini and commenced his journey in the field of wood carving, firstly as an assistant in a carpenter’s workshop and eventually opening his own workshop. The mystical and unique characteristics of wood, a natural and live material, are what amaze Eduart from the very start. Many times the grain patterns of the wood itself are what guide and inspire him to bring his creative ideas to life. Eduart’s art work is influenced by different styles, modern, abstract, classic and even religious themes. You will always find him sculpting passionately and creating new pieces at his studio - gallery by the seaside promenade in Kamari.
Saint Pagratios
The church of Saint Pagratios was built in honor of the victims of the great earthquake that struck Santorini On July 9, 1956, the day of the feast of Agios Pagrati, a very strong earthquake struck Santorini. The quake was devastating and caused irreparable damage to the island, however the number of victims was small in relation to its size. For this reason, the inhabitants of the island wanted to honor the 53 victims of the island by building a monument on this hill while at the same time they began to build a small church in honor of St. Pagrati. The marble slab mentions the names of the victims of all the villages of the island. Agios Pagratios hosts its own festival every year on July 9, on the anniversary of the great earthquake of 1956. The location offers a beautiful view of the settlement of Kamari and the sea.
Old chapel of St. Nicholas
At the edge of the beach, at the foot of the mountain, in the area called Kamara and was the old customs, is the "old" Ai Nikolas. It is an ancient carved temple, located right at the meeting point of Mesa Vouno and Kamari beach and whose existence was unknown to the local community until recently, as it remained sealed for years. This is probably due to an impending disaster that threatened the area.
Saint Nickolaos
At the southern end of Kamari beach, built at the foot of the mountain of the area and just above the old Ai Nikolas, is the picturesque white church dedicated to Agios Nikolaos, patron saint of sailors, literally on the beach and next to bathers.
