Santorini is a small, circular group of volcanic islands located in the Aegean Sea, about 200 km south-east from the mainland of Greece (latitude: 36.40ÉN - longitude: 25.40ÉE). It is also known by the name of the largest island in the archipelago, Thira or Thera. It is the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands and the most active volcanic centre in the Aegean Arc, though what remains today is largely a caldera.
The island’s unique beauty has rendered Santorini one of the most interesting attractions of Greece and definitely a remarkable experience.
