Caldera
Arriving to the Island of Santorini, you will come across a unique landscape…!!! A volcanic eruption in the 17th century BC caused the greatest part of the island to sink into the sea, thus forming a sea basin with steep cliffs, the so-called ‘Caldera’. Look Up! Settlements with colourful little houses, built on the top of the caldera, look like they are hanging on the edge of the steep cliffs.
Megalochori
The houses, elegant mansions and beautiful churches you will find built in this scenic settlement follow the traditional local architecture. High walls built around internal courtyards, as well as their imposing wooden doors indicate the residents’ fear of pirate invasions. Visit the church of Agios Nikolaos, with its simple bell tower, in Plaka and enjoy the magnificent view.
The Castle of Akrotiri
One of the five castles or ‘Kastelia’, that can be found on the island, also known as La Ponta.
