Santorini
Santorini, the precious gem of the Aegean, is actually a group of islands consisting of Thíra, Thirassiá, Asproníssi, Palea and Nea Kaméni in the southernmost part of Cyclades. The whole complex of Santorini islands is still an active volcano (the same as Méthana, Mílos and Nísiros). The islands that form Santorini came into existence as a result of intensive volcanic activity. They occurred twelve huge eruptions, one every 20,000 years approximately, and each violent eruption caused the collapse of the volcano’s central part creating a large crater (caldera).
