Santorini, a world-famous volcanic island located in the most southern part of the Cycladic group of islands in Greece’s Aegean Sea, was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, which forever shaped its rugged landscape. The whitewashed houses perch like sugar cubes on cliffs 300 metres above the island’s underwater Caldera (crater) that overlook the sea as well as small islands to the west, and beaches composed of black, red and white pebbles. Great poets have sung its praises throughout its 4000 year-old history, and Santorini continues to stand, strong and majestic, proudly guarding the secrets of Atlantis.
