Welcome SKG Rent A Car Santorini! Santorini, known since ancient times as Thira, is one of the most famous islands in the world. An island located in the southern Aegean Sea and a member of the Cyclades group of islands. It is the largest island of a small circular archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of a caldera. The island is actually a group of islands consisting of Thira, Thirassia, Aspronissi, Palea and Nea Kameni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades. Santorini’s volcano is one of the few active volcanoes on Greek and European land. The islands that form Santorini came into existence as a result of intensive volcanic activity; twelve huge eruptions occurred, one every 20,000 years approximately, and each violent eruption caused the collapse of the volcano’s central part creating a large crater (caldera). The volcano, however, managed to recreate itself over and over again. Rent a car with SKG Rent A Car at Santorini airport and start your tour around the island. Drive with your rental car to Fira the picturesque capital of the island on the top edge of the Caldera, offering breathtaking views to the Aegean Sea. Continue your tour with the rental car to the village Oia that looks like a work of art as the houses are carved into the lava rock. Enjoy the amazing sunset from Imerovigli and Firostefani. Visit the other smaller, yet famous, villages, some cosmopolitan and some more traditional. Soaking up the villages’ distinctive topography, whitewashed houses and alleys vs lava-black terrain, is a rewarding experience that one might say is unique! Don’t miss to venture with your SKG Rental Car into Santorini’s seaside treasures and enjoy deep blue waters and beaches with white, red or black sand or volcanic pebbles, spectacular rock formations and impressive lunar landscapes. Make your drive around the most romantic Greek island and enjoy romantic sunsets with your other half. SKG Rent A Car will be honored to be part of your holidays, while you sunbathing and swimming in Santorini’s coastal treasures that have been profoundly influenced by the volcanic nature of the island. Ammoudi, on the harbour of Oia, the small beach of Armeni, Baxedes (or Paradisos) a quiet beach with black sand and chiselled rocks, Kolumbo with its black-grey sandy beach and Katharos beach will impress you. The wild beauty of the beaches on the eastern side of the island will prove irresistible to sunseekers looking for peace and seclusion since they are neither organised nor much frequented. Monolithos is strongly recommended for families. If you are seeking for a more cosmopolitan and organized beach, Kamari beach is the one for you. Soak up the atmosphere along the lively waterfront at one of the charming beach bars or bask in the turquoise blue waters. Amongst Santorini’s most sought after beaches, are Perissa, Perivolos, Agios Georgios, Vlychada and Almyra. The Akrotiri area is famous for its ruins of an ancient town but tan-seeking sunbathers will also discover some marvellous beaches there. Caldera is a small and very quiet beach with black sand and deep crystal clear waters which enjoys an unrivalled view of the volcano. Let our SKG Rental Car be a part of your vacation.
Enjoy your holidays and drive safe! |
