Map
of Santorini
Santorini, also known as Thria is widely considered to be the most spectacular
island of Greece, full of charm and relaxing energy. Thousands of thourists
come every year in awe of the caldera of the volcano, a legacy of what was
probably the world's largest volcanic erution ever.
This eruption,
which occured in 1647 BC, caused the middle of the volcano to subside, leaving
a caldera of high cliffs / one of the world's most spectacular geographic
phenomena.
This is the theory postulated by Plato, one that has fired the imagination
of writers, artists and mystic since ancient times ... was the island of Santorini
really the lost Atlantis?
