Santorini is an island located in the Aegean sea about 120 miles from the Greek mainland. It's part of the Cyclades, a group of islands covering an area of about 28 square miles.Today's Santorini is what is left after a huge vulcanic explosion. The ring form represents the borders of the caldera which collapsed after the magma chamber collapsed. The whole area is believed to be the most active volcanic region in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc.It's landscape is therefore typically volcanic. Beaches show different colors from different kinds of lava. The inner coast is an impressive cliff rising up to 900 feet directly from the water that once filled the emptied caldera.
