I still can't believe we will soon be here!
Santorini Greece is definitely one of the most popular destinations in Greece and it is considered as the most spectacular landscapes in Greece. It is a really spectacular view for the reason that the island faces the caldera, the famous submerged volcano's crater which is situated in the middle of basin of waters. The island of Santorini was called Strogili in Ancient times. Strogili means "circular" in Greek. After a terrible eruption, the center of the island sank and only the crater left and the impressive cliff of 150m to 300m height on which one can see, perched in the sky, some of the most beautiful traditional white painted Cycladic villages. The last eruption dates to 1956 and the volcano is still active today. It is also told that the destruction of the island of Santorini could be related to the mythical Atlantis.The last eruption dates to 1956 and the volcano is still active today.
