About this experience

Its name was given by the Venetian Giacomo Barozzi due to the presence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Irene. It is considered by many the lost continent of Atlantis.
The island is fascinating and it is the ideal time to photograph the town of Fira, with its white houses perched on the hillside overlooking the volcano.
