A JOURNEY IN HISTORY
Why Santa Irini? The church of Agia Irini [the Italian Santa Irene] in Therasia, completed in 1867, is facing the caldera and Santorini and is located within the retreat’s estate. The island of Santorini supposedly owes its name to this world famous church, which makes up the natural border of the retreat’s yard on its southern side. It is the oldest among 24 churches scattered around Therasia.
