Santorini island Greece

Santorini lies at the southern tip of the Aegean sea and it is the southern border of the Cyclades islands. It has a surface area of 76 square kilometres and a coastline with a total length of  69 km. When we say Santorini we usually mean the complex of five islands, Thera, Therasia, Aspronisi, Palaia Kameni and Nea Kameni. The west side of Santorini consists of the steep cliffs of the Caldera, which is made up of different layers of volcanic soil dated from different volcanic eruptions, that stands 300 meters above sea level. The terrain has a sloping inclination from the West to the East where it becomes even with the sea level. On the eastern side of the island we find the farms of the island. Santorini, due to its unique nature, is a place very hard to describe and categorize. The visitors of Santorini who first enter the immense volcanic caldera would be overwhelmed by a feeling of awe. Santorini's caldera is a nature's creation that balances fire, earth and water in such a way that you have the impression that you witness the miracle of creation. The volcanic magma (lava) has created an incredible wild landscape that you could only witness here in Santorini.
