When the German Spiegel was acquainted with the island of Santorini!
"Once a year, the volcanic island of Santorini seems to...crack and break. The sky is burning, loud thunders are heard...Thankfully, it is simply the islanders celebrating a spectacle similar to that which created their island. It has been a while that the volcano has been sulking at the bottom of the sea”. This is how the journalist begins his article which praises the island of Santorini. "The volcano is simmering. It is about to start spiting fire. The sky is burning. Red, yellow, green and blue sparks light up the night sky over the volcanic islet of Nea Kameni. The sea acquires a shade of silver. And the article continues…“The restaurants of the main town, Fira, are packed with visitors holding their breath and a glass of champagne as they ecstatically watch the spectacle. Flares, flaming balls in the sky. And the captain casts the anchor of ‘Thalassa’ in order to get even closer to the island, even closer to the fire”.
The article was written on the occasion of the famous festival "Volcanoes" which depicts a representation of the volcanic eruption and takes place every year on the island of Santorini, attracting the interest of visitors and tourists alike like a magnet.
The article is poetic and contains a dynamic dose of enthusiasm, thus, praising Santorini and turning it to a top destination on a world wide scale. Upon arrival on the island, it will take as little as one mere moment to fall in love with it and seek to return to it again and again.
