Πολλές είναι οι αναρτήσεις σχετικά με την Ελλάδα, τα
ελληνικά νησιά και τις υπηρεσίες και τα προϊόντα τους, που έχει δημοσιεύσει η
δημοφιλής εφημερίδα της Ιρλανδίας irishtimes.
Δύο από αυτά, που αναρτήθηκαν φέτος το καλοκαίρι,
αναφέρονται στα χαρακτηριστικά αλλά και σε πληροφορίες δέκα δημοφιλών νησιών της
Ελλάδας, μεταξύ των οποίων και η Σαντορίνη, ενώ η δεύτερη και μάλιστα εκτενής
ανάρτηση αναφέρεται στην .. ιδιότητα της Ικαρίας να ευνοεί την μακροζωία των
κατοίκων της.
Στον φετινό ταξιδιωτικό τους οδηγό για τα 10
δημοφιλέστερα νησιά της Ελλάδας, για την Σαντορίνη αναφέρουν ότι : http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/your-greek-islands-guide-1.1788534
Your Greek
islands guide - There are 6,000 of them
strewn across the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Here are 10 of the best / Sandra
O'Connell
Santorini
Jacques Cousteau
thought he would find the lost city of Atlantis at Santorini and you’d forgive
him for deciding it was here rather than, say, the Isle of Man.
Where better to
undertake research than a sun-drenched island soaring up out of deep blue seas
with views so spectacular they turn even the town’s most modest “rent room”
into a penthouse suite?
It’s no wonder
the scenery is dramatic, the island was forged by volcanic activity dating to
the 16th century BC and which left three-quarters of the island under water.
It’s not great for small kids, due to the steep inclines, and it can also be
somewhat uncomfortable watching donkeys struggling under the weight of fully
grown adults making their regular trips uphill from the harbour to the main
town, Fira.
Don’t miss the
stunning village of Oia, to the north of Fira, whose terraced houses are hewn
into the cliffs and which is regarded as one of the most beautiful spots in the
world from which to enjoy the sunset.

The Greek island
whose happy people ‘forget to die’
It’s no myth: on
Ikaria a mix of contentment, diet and social interaction extend life well
beyond the norm
Ikaria: the
island’s inhabitants live 10 years longer than Americans before contracting
cancer or cardiovascular disease, and suffer much less from depression.
