Thirassia Island – Santorini
The island of Thirassia is located adjacent to Santorini; in fact, it was once a part of it.
The volcanic eruption that occurred at around 1500 BC snapped Santorini off and Thirassia emerged. Nowadays, Thirassia is a virgin island, still untouched by tourism and modern lifestyle.
The island is only 9 sq. km in size and has only 150 permanent inhabitants.
Manolas village is the capital, while other settlements include Korfos, Riva, and Potamos. A walk through villages can also be a wonderful experience, as in front of the houses lie gardens with colorful blossoms.
Manolas boasts tiny picturesque houses painted in various colors.
