24 August 2014 - ifiesta Volcano fireworks festival.

Every summer, there would be a firework festival to commemorate the formation of Santorini and its Caldera. It was through a volcano eruption that the flow of lava formed the cresent shaped Island and the remainings forming forming the caldera.


We recee the area earlier in the day and decided on Mama Thira - it has the best location amongst the other restaurants which could have a blocked view. All the restaurants on that day didn't entertain ala carte order. The set menu at Mama thira looked quite good. It's 70 Euros with some side dishes, and the maincourse is a freshly caught fish.









Finally willing to settle in and start dinner after getting several pictures with the sunset. The sunset is indeed the best I've ever seen.


Side dishes. Ordered my favourite tomato balls after one of the guides recommeded it. Loving it!
The fireworks started at 9pm and we had a very good view albiet it being a little far. But could still see the entire show. It was a good 15 minutes of fireworks. There were many cruises specially organised for the fireworks. Once the show was over, each started to cruise off.
It came as a surprise that these fireworks were put off near us! Excited by fireworks.

Food serving came to a halt during the fireworks. The main course came right after the fireworks was over. A generous portion on a whole fish. It was sooo fresh I could taste the sweetness in the flesh. Definitely one of the best meal in Santorini thus far, and a memorable one!
