It¢s not an Island, it¢s a Volcano !!!
In 2006 and 2007, it was voted the No. 1 European Island Destination and one of the Top 10 Islands in the World by Travel & Leisure Magazine.
Santorini. One of the most mystical and romantic places all over the world. It owns its curved “croissant” shape to the tremendous volcanic eruption that took place 3.500 years ago and literally sank the largest part of the island into the deep waters of the Aegean Sea, creating a seven mile crater, the famous Caldera. It is well known around the world for its stunning sunsets and the most breathtaking views of the endless blue of the Aegean Sea.
The architecture of Santorini is also unique with white cave houses literally perched on the highest point of the steep black cliffs, offering amazing views and stabilized temperatures of 18-20 Celsius at all seasons.
Many stories and myths are weaved around Santorini.
The most famous of these stories is that the tidal wave that was caused from the volcanic explosion back on 1.550BC completely destroyed the legendary lost city of Atlantis which was supposed to be located somewhere between Santorini and Crete.
