Santorini is like no other Greek Island the scenery is breathtaking. The inner edge of the Island plunges almost 300 metres into the deep blue sea. This was created by a massive volcanic eruption; it’s believed this took place in 1650BC, burying the island’s prosperous pre-historic settlement. The Island has lots of Mythical legends and its believed this is where the ‘Lost City of Atlantis’ is said to be. Santorini is certainly steeped in a rich history and boasts many archaeological sites, including the Pompeii-like ruins of ancient Minoan settlements at Akrotiri.
