The Island of Santorini
Once known as Kallisti – the most beautiful one – Santorini is a place of myth and beauty, often linked to the legend of Atlantis. Its dramatic landscape was shaped by a volcanic eruption over 3,600 years ago, creating one of the world’s few inhabited calderas.
Historically called Stongyle and later Thera, the island is now commonly known as Santorini – a name given by the Venetians in honor of Saint Irene.
Santorini enchants visitors with its whitewashed cliffside villages, breathtaking sunsets, and deep-blue sea views. Romantic, cosmopolitan, and truly unique, it’s a destination you’ll want to experience at least once in your life.
