Santorini’s Caldera, one of the most beautiful natural sights in the world, is a 300-metre high basin that was created after a fierce volcanic eruption that occurred in 1613 BC. That great eruption sank the center of Santorini into the bottom of the Aegean Sea and the outcome was the creation of this unique terrain morphology. The diameter of the caldera is 16 km covering the areas of Oia, Fira, Firostefani and Imerovigli with extraordinary beauty. The picturesque island of Santorini is literally built on a cliff. The distinct landscape of the caldera adds to the rare beauty of the island making Santorini an incredible holiday destination that offers, among all, a view that will take your breath away.

The altitude and the morphology of the caldera provide a breathtaking view any time of the day; whether in the daylight when you can gaze the whitewashed houses and the luxurious hotels with swimming pools and Jacuzzis that decorate their balconies, or even better at night, when the lights compose the most romantic and atmospheric scenery. Of course, nothing can compare to the sight of the caldera when it is bathed in the famous Santorini sunset. It is a magical hour of the day to be out and enjoy an exquisite site for your eyes.
