Santorini, classically Thera and officially Thira, is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece’s mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular Archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi).

Thera, Therassia, Aspronisi and the volcanoes (Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni where the crater of the volcano is located) form the cluster of islands which is called Santorini.Today, Santorini is the only inhabited Caldera (volcano cauldron) in the world.Santorini is one of the most popular island in Greece or even one the world’s most famous island.There are few travel destinations that combine unique Caldera towering cliffs above the sea, spectacular scenery, ancient and pre historic cities, some of the world’s best wine, and an active volcano
