Santorini is a volcanic island located in the Aegean Sea, part of Greece’s Cyclades archipelago. Known for its stunning landscapes, white-washed buildings with blue-domed roofs, and picturesque sunsets, Santorini is a popular tourist destination. The island was formed by a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC, which created a caldera that is partially submerged. Its unique geography includes steep cliffs that rise from the sea and an interior landscape characterized by volcanic soil and rock formations. Santorini’s history includes a rich cultural heritage influenced by the Minoans, ancient Greeks, and Romans. The island is also known for its vineyards and wine production, particularly the Assyrtiko grape.
