Can you tell me more about Santorini?

Santorini Island was formed by the explosion of several volcanoes which created layers of lava and ended up forming the island. In 1640 BC, the Minoan Eruption, one of the biggest exploding killed all life on the island. After several other eruptions, the island we now know was created. Nowadays, there are two volcanoes in Santorini called Palia Kameni and Nea Kameni. Both are still active! You can visit them on a day tour. Eric and I loved the tour and we even saw the fumes coming out of the crater. It was very impressive!

In the bitter hour of your death, close your eyes, and you will see Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Mykonos.” – Nikos Kazantzakis
