Thirasia
The island belongs to the Cyclades group. With a good nine km², Thirasia is only slightly larger than Baltrum, the smallest East Frisian island in the North Sea. The two harbor villages are Korfos and Riva. The main village on Thirasia is Manolas with several hundred inhabitants. Thirasia is not so much a destination for a longer vacation stay as for day tourists from Santorini, the 90 km² island directly opposite and much better known among holidaymakers. The almost untouched nature of Thireasia will really inspire you. Island destinations are the monastery Kimisi Theotokou in 200 m height at the southeast tip, the church Agios Charalambos or the abandoned village Kera. On Thirasia you can relax from your hectic everyday life.
The ferry port on the island of Thirasia offers connections to the other Greek islands of Sikinos, Thira, Paros, Folegandros, Ios, Kea, Anafi, Kythnos, Syros and Naxos, as well as to the ferry port of Lavrio on the Greek mainland.
