Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera.

Renowned as one of the best places

in the world to view sunsets, the picturesque village of Oia offers mesmerising vistas as the sun dips below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky.

The island is famous for its distinct Cycladic architecture, characterised by whitewashed buildings with blue-domed roofs that create a striking contrast against the Aegean Sea.
