Santorini is an island in the Cyclades group. On a Greece holiday, it is an island that you may imagine as the classic Greek island, with its white-washed homes, churches, and blue sky. This stunning island was built by a massive volcanic eruption that created a vast lagoon in the island's centre. As a result, it is bordered on three sides by sheer cliffs. It still boasts an active volcano, the world's only one with a crater in the sea. The most recent major eruption happened 3,600 years ago.
Santorini is known as a romantic island due to its crystal-clear seas located on the lip of a volcano in the midst of the sea, as well as its spectacular sunsets.
With the desire to escape reality stronger than ever, Santorini, one of the most popular Cycladic islands for both visitors and residents alike, seems to be the light at the end of the tunnel. And how could it not be, given its volcanic geomorphology, the deep blue seas of its beaches, and the hospitable residents who believe they must ensure you have a good time on their island?
Santorini is a group of three islands:
Thera
Thirassia
Aspronissi
These used to be one, but the land separated after a massive volcanic eruption, forming the well-known and beloved Caldera. As magical as it is, Santorini has long been associated with the legend of the "lost" city of Atlantis, becoming a test subject for scientists all over the world.

Fira, Santorini’s capital, is one of the best places to see on the island.
