Santorini
Santorini, whose capital is Thera (or Fira), is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200km (120 miles) southeast of Greece on the mainland. It is the largest island of a small circular archipelago that bears the same name and is the rest of a volcanic caldera. The island forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades island group. The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi and Christiana.
Tourism
The capital of Santorini, Thera (or Fira) is the main tourist center and an authentic maze of white-painted streets filled with jewelery and craft shops.
The most beautiful city of Santorini is Oía, at the northern end of the island, with a magical setting, especially at sunset, when the colorful houses are bathed in an orange aura. The view is absolutely unforgettable.
Santorini Island is famous for dramatically beautiful views such as breathtaking sunsets from the town of Oia, the town of Thira and of course its own active volcano.
The naturally fantastic beaches, such as Perissa beach, perhaps the best beach in Santorini, Kamari's black pebble beach, white sand beach and red beach.
