Welcome to
Santorini
Greece
Santorini is one of the world's most iconic and photographed destinations — a crescent of volcanic cliffs rising from the Aegean Sea, topped by the whitewashed villages of Oia and Fira with their impossibly blue-domed churches and infinity pools overlooking the submerged caldera. The island was shaped by one of history's most catastrophic volcanic eruptions, which may have been the origin of the Atlantis myth, and the dramatic landscape of black sand beaches, blood-red cliffs, and turquoise water is unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Santorini's wines — particularly the mineral Assyrtiko grape grown in volcanic soil — and its sunset rituals draw visitors from every corner of the world.
