The island’s dramatic volcanic landscape, including the famous caldera formed by a massive eruption around 1600 BC, shapes its distinct charm, with settlements perched on the crater’s edge and subterranean rockhewn houses. Spanning 76 square kilometers with a 69 kilometer coastline, Santorini’s captivating beauty has inspired artists for centuries.

The main island, Thera, and its neighboring isles, such as Therasia and Aspronisi, feature a landscape marked by active volcanoes and breathtaking natural scenery.

Named after the ancient settler Theras and later rebranded by Venetians, Santorini remains a standout destination in Greece’s Cyclades.
