The picturesque and wonderful island, Santorini

This is a detail from '' The secret of mediterranean '' with Trevor Mc'Donald

But first to Greece and to one of the most beautiful  of all of its 6000 islands thought by many to be a part of the fabled lost city of Atlantis. Santorini lies to the south of the Greek islands.

Just over three and a half thousand years ago a massive volcanic eruption tour the island apart leaving a vast lagoon which now sustains so much life. To survive on this island the earliest inhabitants mainly deckhands and fishermen were forced to rely on their ingenuity and their skill to tame harsh environment, summers are very hot winters are stormy and cold so the islanders dug deep into the rock face and made their homes and caves, these caves are still lived today.
