Santorini is a small cluster of islands that were formed due to volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago and are located in the south section of Aegean Sea.
This is one of the spots that you would never forget because it has a mixture of all: fun, adventure, nature, peace and beauty.
Santorini has 3 islands. The island of is known for it incredible villages. Some of them are perched on the top of 300 m high cliffs and offer gorgeous views.
Glamorous Santorini, in the southern Aegean's Cyclades islands, curves round a giant lagoon, a caldera left by a volcanic eruption. The island's capital, Fira, clings to cliffs above, providing stunning views of the lagoon below.
It was one island named Stroggili (circle in Greek) until about 1645 BC, when the volcano in the middle of the island erupted and Caldera was created. The two volcanic islands appeared much later from various eruptions starting from 157 BC until the last one in the 20th century (1950).
The island has changed names through history. Originally it was called Stroggyli ("round") since that was the shape of the island. When the Phoenicians came they named it Kallisti ("the very best"), and finally it got the name Thira after its first ruler.
Santorini, not only is the ideal holiday delight offering its visitors relaxation but also a taste of adventure, romance and fun.
