 Santorini has today a fertile soil, because of the eruption, ,which has made the island famous for its products.
It produces a wine of excellent quality but only in small quantities. All over the island, you can see short vine trees. There are made in a way that you will only find in Santorini, and look like baskets, in order to be protected from the strong winds.
Others famous local products are the "Fava", a vegetable smaller than a pea, the small tomato which only grows in Santorini as a result of the lack of water and the kapari, a vegetable of the size of peas with a strong peculiar taste, used within the famous Horiatiki(Greek Salad).
These products have a great success all over the world.

Santorini also exports a product which is related to the eruptions: the famous pumice stone, which is used all over the world for different uses.
