HISTORY OF CAVES
-SANTORINIAN TRADITIONS-
Santorinian Cave Houses or yposkafa as per their Greek name, which translates to “dug into a rock”, are underground constructions once used as homes, churches, canaves, and warehouses. They are famous both for their cubic form and their white or light beige color which reflects the Cycladian light. The Santorinan cave houses were once the homes of the poor island’s inhabitants and crew members of ship owners that were not able to build their houses on the top of the caldera and had to come up with alternative housing. The peculiarity of the volcanic Santorinian terrain offered a much cheaper alternative: it allowed the inhabitants to carve a building into the earth.
