Santorini is one of the most spectacular islands in Greece, and one of the most famous in the whole world. This crescent-shaped island used to be a circular island with a crater at its center. An ancient volcanic eruption caused the crater to collapse inward, breaking the central and western areas of the island and thus producing its present shape. The resulting cliffs feature the many whitewashed houses against the deep blue backdrop of the Aegean Sea that have been captured in photographs by admiring travelers.
