LOCATION & LANDSCAPE
Among all the Greek Islands, Santorini is probably the one most people know and dream of visiting. It’s the island where you will find red cliffs, black beaches, white windmills, cave houses, and blue domes that adorn so many postcards. Located at the southern Aegean Sea, about 63 nautical miles south of the island of Crete, Santorini, it’s the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2. Santorini is a vast natural geological museum where you can notice significant geological structures and forms! The municipality of Santorini consists of the island of Thirasia, the two volcanic islets of Nea Kameni and Palaia Kameni, the uninhabited island Aspronisi, and the islets Christiana. Kameni in Greek means “Burned,” and Palaia and Nea Kameni constitute today the active volcano of Santorini, probably the only volcano in the world whose crater is in the sea.

Fira, the island’s capital, hanging at the edge of the Caldera, attracts everyone. It looks like a marvelous painting.
