santorini-wines

One of the most popular Greek islands when it comes to enjoying the summer is Santorini. Years pass, crises pass, and Santorini continues to remain one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece.

Santorini is in the Aegean Sea and actually more than a single island is a group made up of Palea, Rhira, Thirassia, Aspronissi and Nea Kameni. All are within the group of the Cyclades, south of the archipelago. The whole group are volcanic islands and experts say that it is most likely the only volcano in the sea in the world. They were born about 20 thousand years ago from a violent explosion. Later others followed and thus the islands were formed that today so many people visit and of which they take memories. Which are the best souvenirs of Sanmtorini?

I believe that there is nothing better than buying typical products. You will not try traditional food from one place in another. You can go to a Greek restaurant in Madrid or New York, but it will not be the same as being directly in Greece. So what are the typical Santorini products What can we take home as a souvenir? Basically the local wine and pumice stones. The Santorini wines They are great and varied, but the most popular is the one known by the name Vinsanto: this variety is sweet and is made from grapes that are dried in the sun for two weeks.

Also, among the Santorini winesThere are the Nykteri and Assyrtiko varieties and others that are made with different grapes and have different flavors and textures. There are vineyards to visit so you can start with them. Regarding the pumice rocks They are volcanic, light, porous rocks. The rocks are formed in the eruptions when the liquid lava shoots into the air and therefore contains gauze bubbles inside and that when the lava cools they remain there. They are used in medicine, massages, aesthetics. Finally, at lunchtime don't miss the fried tomato balls, tomatokef you. Exquisite.
