Can anyone assure the answer to 17 across..Modern greek name of the island Santorini.

We have had both THERA and THIRA supplied here. I have googled extensively and again both names are given.

Many thanks.

according to Pears Cyclopedia it is Thira

17 a-thera

[merciasounds]

I'm sure they'll allow both versions

Collins also gives -

Thera "...Modern Greek name: Th�ra"

the Greeks write in Cyrillic script so it depends how you transcribe it. Does the puzzle say which dictionary it goes by?

[eldiego316]

The answer is THIRA

To jno. No. ---- Dictionary not mentioned

Many thanks folks........ I will settle for THIRA

[Wop/tpo]

My map of the Greek islands spells it as Thira ( Santorin),
and in cyrillic Onpa ( as near as I can get).

[heraclese]

It is definitely Thira.
