The best Greek Islands for holidays
Santorini Island – a mysterious paradise on Earth
Santorini is a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, part of the Cyclades archipelago. It was formed after a violent volcanic eruption around 1600 BC, which destroyed the original single island. The characteristic white buildings with blue domes are the result of the island’s volcanic and seismic activity. The color white helps reflect sunlight, and blue was historically intended to protect against insects and symbolize wealth.
