SANTORINI

The island of Santorini

Santorini (also known as Thira) is characterized by many as “the jewel of the Aegean Sea”. Looking at the pictures, you can see the reason why. It is the southernmost island of the Cyclades and is located between the islands of Ios and Anafi. The volcanic eruption of the Thira Volcano that destroyed the Minoan civilization in antiquity caused a large part of the island to become submerged. The island is now left with a wild and rare natural beauty. Its high cliffs and dark colors are unique!
