Santorini is
located in the southern part of the Aegean and is the southernmost island
of the Cyclades. Its crescent shape is due to the activity of its
currently dormant volcano. This is the island that gives rise to the
legend of Atlantis. The archaeological site at Akrotiri has revealed
marvelous frescoes and buildings due to the manner in which it was
destroyed... a massive volcanic eruption in 1700 B.C.

Modern
Santorini has thirteen villages, including Phira, its capitol, and Oia,
located at the western corner of the island crescent, possibly the most
picturesque place in Greece.
Words cannot
describe this place.
