Santorini, known since ancient times as Thera, is one of the most famous islands in the world.
The fact that you can sit in front of the caldera, enjoy local dishes, a drink or a coffee while looking at the
the remarkable beauty of an active volcano is priceless!
The island is actually a cluster of islands consisting of Thera, Thirasia, Aspronisi and Thira,
Palea and Nea Kameni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades.
The volcano of Santorini is one of the few active volcanoes in Greece and Europe.
The islands that form Santorini are the result of intense volcanic activity.
Twelve huge eruptions occurred, one every 20,000 years or so, and each violent eruption caused the central part of the volcano to collapse, creating a large crater (caldera).
The volcano, however, managed to recreate itself again and again.
Fira is the picturesque capital of the island perched on the top of the Caldera,
260 meters above sea level, offering stunning views of the Aegean Sea and the island of Nea Kameni .
On the edge of the caldera you will find the famous villages of Oia.
The whole village is a work of art as the houses have been carved into the lava rock,
these are Imerovigli and Firostefani, which are the best places to enjoy the sunset.
Some famous but smaller villages, others cosmopolitan, others more traditional, others with huge vineyards to explore,
other on top of a cliff offering stunning views of the Aegean Sea, are Akrotiri and Mesa Vouno,
with the famous archaeological sites.
Pyrgos, Karterades, Emporio, Ammoudi, Finikia, Perissa, Perivolos, Megalochori, Kamari, Mesaria and Monolithos.
Enjoying the characteristic topography of the villages, the whitewashed houses and the alleys that create the contrast
of the black lava soil, is a rewarding experience, which of course one could say is unique!
