TRAVEL | Santorini

Santorini, also known as Thēra, is a circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea. Santorini is essentially the remains of an enormous volcanic explosion, leading to the creation of the current geological caldera. Central lagoon, around 400m deep, is used as a harbour for all sorts of shipping to the island. This is the site to the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history (the Minoan eruption) which caused the collapse on the Minoan civilization. The capital is Fira.
