A picture book island in the middle of the Aegean Santorini is considered one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, and for good reason too: The queen of the Aegean welcomes her visitors with picture book images of Cycladic charm. A powerful volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC created a truly distinctive landscape on the island: A breath-taking caldera and colourful cliffs into which the white, cube shaped houses of the island’s main towns, Fira and Oia, are nestled. Explore the Island In addition to this beauty, Santorini has still more to offer such as the famous archaeological site of Akrotiri (also called the Pompeii of the Aegean), where the lives of the prehistoric islanders were preserved for time immemorial on the day the volcano erupted. Alternatively, you could enjoy a swim at the Red Beach, take a boat trip through the caldera, hike along the crater rim or visit one of the many wineries. You could hardly ask for more a variety filled vacation! The Island 4 days Program
