The Greek Island Holiday and Travel Guides of Santorini

Congratulations and enjoy the beauty of Santorini Island
beauty of Santorini Island<br />
The Greek Holiday Island of Santorini (also known as Thera or Thira) lies within the South Aegean Sea, is part of the Cyclades Island Group and covers an area of around 28 square miles. Originally a much larger island, today's Santorini was created as a result of a massive volcanic explosion in the 13th century leaving it now with a huge and extremely deep central lagoon - which is surrounded by 980 foot high cliffs. These multi-coloured cliffs create a quite unique and spectacular sight which is particularly excellent when seen as you travel to the island via cruise ship or ferry. Santorini's modern capital of Fira has it's generally white houses and buildings layered across the top of the cliffs overlooking the lagoon way below - creating yet another of Santorini's unique views to enjoy. The island's main ferry port is situated down a really steep 4km road which zig-zags it's way below to the lagoon.
