Santorini is well known for some peculiar agricultural products, called
“anydra” (= without water), since rain is scarce.
The plantations have adapted in this microclimate by absorbing the
humidity coming from the atmosphere and the clouds that is trapped inside the
pumice stone. Without a lot of water, the products remain small in size, such
as the local cherry tomatoes, the watermelons or the cucumbers.
You can find the delicious local products in
fine restaurants and shops.
