Santorini
History of Santorini: Some places to visit in Santorini:
Santorini is an island in the
southern Aegean Sea, southeast
from Greece (main Island).
The archipelago of Santorini is
essentially what was left after a
giant volcanic eruption that
destroyed the first human
regists that existed on the
previous island and created the Red Beach Open-air cinema
present geological caldera.
The eruption left a large crater
surrounded by volcanic ash
deposits hundreds of metres
deep and may have indirectly
led to the collapse of Minoan
civilisation on the island of
Crete through the formation of a
giant tsunami.
Another popular theory says Santorini volcanic caldera Acrotíri
that the eruption of Tera is the
source of the legend of Atlantis.
