Santorini is a stunning volcanic island located in the southern Aegean Sea and is part of the Cyclades island group. It is known for its breathtaking sunsets, white-washed buildings, blue-domed churches, and dramatic cliffs. The island's unique landscape is the result of a volcanic eruption that occurred centuries ago, creating a caldera (a sunken volcanic crater) surrounded by steep cliffs and deep blue waters.
The island's volcanic origins have also led to the production of unique wines, particularly the Assyrtiko grape variety. Santorini's wine industry is famous for its distinctive flavors and methods of cultivation, which include vines trained in a basket shape to protect them from strong winds.
