Economy & Compact Cars in Santorini

Consequently, visiting the Santorini (or Tira Island, as it has been called since the Phoenician times) in mid-September, you can witness the island’s most significant event. It is a colorful event called the Ifestia Festival. If you look at the festival from a bird’s-eye view while it is in progress, you can see how the big cities of the island seem to “burn”. The fact is that in this way it reproduces the Minoan volcano eruption, which took place about four thousand years ago and thanks to it today we know Santorini as it is. This is done with the help of its impressive fireworks.

By the way, the festival owes its appearance to chance: for instance, its apogee was a firework during a musical performance in 1991. This action was so pleasant to the locals that they decided to celebrate the fireworks festival separately. It should be noted that the festival program includes not only the launch of fireworks – visitors are expected to enjoy great music concerts and dance performances. The festival’s popularity is evidenced by the fact that around a thousand spectators visit it every year – fans of colorful shows. The brightest fireworks are launched in the capital of Tire Island.
