| The highlight of Santorini is the Santorini Volcano and submerged caldera, with the towns of Thira and Oia perched high above the sea atop 300 metre high cliffs, overlooking the crescent shaped bay in which the smouldering volcanic cone sits.During the ancient times, the shape of Santorini was circular and that was the reason it was also called Strongili, which means circular in Greek. The volcanoââ¬â¢s eruption destroyed the centre of the island, causing it to sink and to create todayââ¬â¢s caldera. The first eruption of the Volcano took place around 1500 BC, and is said to be responsible for the destruction of the great Minoan civilisation of Crete. The last eruption took place in 1956 but the volcano remains active until today. Some believe that the destruction of Santorini could be related to that of the mythical Atlantis. |
