Santorini  in the Cyclades, Aegean, has one of the most spectacular landscapes in Greece and in the world. The traditional villages of the island, built on tall cliffs, offer a breathtaking view over the submerged volcano. They represent the beautiful Greek cliché you have always dreamed about!
Among them you mustn't miss Oia, the place gifted with the most famous and stunning sunsets.
Santorini is actually a grouping of a few volcanic islands surrounding a large caldera formed primarily hundreds of thousands of years ago. At that time, a large Santorini volcano eruption collapsed the interior section of land that filled with water. Excavations on Santorini island show human inhabitation dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, and cultures such as the Minoans lived on the island.
Santorini offers so much to do, and you could ideally spend your entire Greece vacation here taking advantage of the wealth of options. Visitors to Santorini can one day visit archaeological sites, and another day relax at the beach. A truly unique mix of museums can be found at Santorini, and you’ll likely want to visit some of them to gain insight to the island’s past inhabitants. Wine lovers should include a stop at The Wine Museum, found at the “Volcan Wines” winery along the route to Kamari Beach.
