Santorini

Licensing Lightbox About Contact Guestbook
Lying 230km to the southeast of Athens, Santorini (officially known as Thira) is the southernmost of the islands of the Cyclades group. Santorini ows its horseshoe shape to a massive volcanic explosion which happened around 1500 BC and destroyed the centre of the island, only leaving a collapsed caldera with a diameter of roughly 12 km. The central lagoon is surrounded by steep cliffs and is 400 m deep. Santorini is one of the few islands of the Cyclades group with a major airport. It is a very scenic island, with breathtaking views from the top of the cliffs at sunset.
