Santorini
Greek Aegean island shaped by a volcanic caldera, known for cliff-top villages and blue-domed architecture.
About
Santorini is a volcanic island group in the Aegean Sea, part of the Cyclades, and the thing that defines a visit here is its geography. The caldera, formed by an ancient eruption, shapes everything: the cliffs, the views, and the way the white and blue villages sit at the rim looking out over open water.
Most people arrive by ferry or by the island's small airport, which sits close to the main town. The island is compact but the roads are slow and parking in the cliff-top villages is limited, so getting around takes more planning than it looks. Crowds in the popular spots can be heavy, so arriving early in the day helps.
