Santorini

Santorini Greece is located at the south end of the Cyclades island complex, at a distance of 128 nautical miles from the port of Piraeus.

Santorini or Thera, as is its official name, given in honor of the island’s patron saint, St. Irene of Thessaloniki, is undoubtedly the most extraordinary island in the Aegean Sea. Its awesome landscape was shaped by a huge volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago, which caused tidal waves that wiped out the Minoan civilization of Crete, 70 miles away.

It was this volcanic eruption which reshaped the island into the magnificent scenery of today.
