One of the main islands of the Aegean Sea, Santorini is located in the southernmost part of the Cyclades Islands. It rests near the most active volcanoes of Greece whose eruption in 1500BC caused both the violent destruction and submersion of almost half of it. 
It’s an absolute must to explore the impressive villages that are dotted all over the island with their characteristic Cycladic architecture of snow white houses and domed dark blue roofs. The donkey ride to Fira, walking on charcoal-coloured sand of an active volcano or swimming in the mineral hot springs are a few more of the island’s charms.
Santorini has a great tradition of winemaking that ties in well with the sumptuous cuisine on offer. The ample vineyards are a testimony to the richness of its volcanic ground. And for those feeling a tad guilty of eating and drinking their way through Santorini, the 600-steps leading to the city of Fira will probably be the most scenic workout you will ever experience!
