About Santorini

Santorini, mezzaluna di scogliere vulcaniche nell'Egeo: villaggi bianchi e cupole blu su una caldera allagata, famosa per i tramonti.

L'isola è il bordo di un antico vulcano la cui eruzione ha lasciato una vasta caldera riempita dal mare. Sul suo ciglio, Fira, il capoluogo, e i villaggi in cima alla scogliera di Imerovigli e Firostefani si aggrappano ai pendii, mentre Oia, all'estremità settentrionale, è celebre per i tramonti sui mulini a vento e sulle case imbiancate.
