After the eruption of the volcano Santorini two major islands were left-Santorini and the much smaller island opposite it, which is called Thirasia. While Santorini with its many houses build on the volcano cliff is an island totally depending on tourism, Thirassia hardly has any houses on it and you will not see the crowds here. Until 236 BC Thirassia was still connected to the northern part of Santorini, but an eruption in 236 BC destroyed a land bridge that connected the two island. Because there are no really good sandy beaches on the island Thirassia has never developed into a tourist destination. This is why the whole island still remained very much unspoilt and a visit to it can feel like a visit back in time.September 2013
