SANTORINI

SANTORINI 

The volcano island. Take a look here www.santorini.net . Maybe now you would like to go there!

But talking about Santorini , this island is very popular for many products. First of all for wine! Santorini wine tours are quite popular. Visit http;://www.santoriniwinetour.com and take an idea! Moreover the volcano fertilizes naturally the ground and that's why argicultural products are so good. Some of them are a kind of small tomato(tomatini) and fava( I didn't found the English translation of fava so have a look on the pictures). Fava was grown from ancient times.There are ancient founds proving the existence of fava in Santorini. Be ready for a recipe with fava.
