Due to earthquakes wrecking their economy,Santorini used to be a poor island.They could not buy meat so instead made meatballs out of their famous tomatoes.There is one church for every family in Santorini.Each church is named after a saint.This saint protects the family.When it is that saint's day the family holds a reception for everyone called ''panigiris.''As I mentioned in another post,Santorini is a dry island and sometimes fidn it hard to get there daily needs of water.In order to get enough water each house has a cistern.This collects rainwater in the winter months.They used to have to use leeches to clean and purify the water.Nowadays chemicals are used to do this instead.Also, nowadays with so many ships visiting Santorini,water-carrying ships bring water to Santorini.
The people of Santorini are so friendly and always welcome you with open arms.If you are lost,they will help you.The are also very family orientated and have long,great meals with their whole family.The culture of Santorini is great and there is an amazing atmosphere there.
