| Santorini was always short of water. The
cycladic climate with the strong winds and the high summer temperatures
would make someone think that no plant can leave on the island.
The answer to the fertility of the island is the night moisture
(that provides a little of water to the plants) and the excellent
quality of the pumice - volcanic soil. |

During the turkish ocupation Santorini was
paying greater taxes to the sultan than all the other Cycladic
islands together and it was because of the high prise of Santorinian
wine. The small tomatoes is a must (you will think that you
eat a tomatoe for the first time) and generally all agricultural
products are smaller, but better...
The last famous product of the island is fava, based on peas,
unique in Greece.

tomato balls, fava and other Santorinian dishes.
