SANTORINI, A VOLCANIC JEWEL

The myth of Atlantis

Synopsis

In Greece, amongst the gorgeous Cycladic islands one stands out for its uniqueness: Santorini.

No mere island, it is in fact a huge volcano which caldera delineates the most splendid bay in the world. Its inhabitants have always lived under the threat of an eruption but, with time, they have learned to tame it.

They have built villages of surreal beauty resting on top of dizzying cliffs. But Santorini also encompasses magnificent beaches made of volcanic sand or antic cities that take you back to the myth of Atlantis.
