Santorini - The Return of the Volcano

Santorini - The Return of the Volcano

It was about 3500 years ago, when the volcano in the isle of Santorini blew everything away in a big blast, leaving nothing but a hole, filled with the deep blue Aegean sea. Humans soon settled again on the ruins of the ancient explosion, and today the island has become a popular tourist attraction, for its fantastic beaches and unforgettable views.

About this place:

A spectacular volcanic island in the middle of the Aegean see, located in the Cyclades archipelago.

Famous for its white-painted houses, blue-domed churches and spectacular sunsets, is a popular destination for young european tourists and a mecca for landscape photographers.

A destination you can't miss, if you are heading for fine beaches and breathtaking views. It is well worth the visit, though it is often packed with too many tourists during the months of July and August.
