Santorini

Greece

Santorini is a volcanic island in the Cyclades of Greece, the rim of a caldera created by one of history's greatest eruptions. The 1600 BC eruption preserved the Minoan city of Akrotiri — the Greek Pompeii — and created the world's most dramatic island scenery. Attractions include the white villages of Oia and Fira on the caldera rim, the buried city of Akrotiri, the volcano and hot springs in the bay, the black sand beaches, the wineries' assyrtiko vines, and the caldera's legendary sunsets.
