When you are cruising the Mediterranean, you must visit this Island in the Aegean Sea. When your ship enters the harbor of Santorini you will be amazed by being surrounded
by volcanic cliffs rising 1000+ feet above the sea. And, your tour guide will inform you that you are inside the caldera of the largest volcanic eruption recorded in history.
Thera (the Island's name 3500 years ago) erupted circa 1500 B.C. with such enormity that what remains now is just a crescent-shaped island. This tremendous cataclysm sent
monstrous tsunami's to the Island of Crete (75 miles to the South) and areas along the African coast and the Middle East.
And, check-out the archaeological digs at the South end of Santorini. The majority of archaeologist and historians are convinced that the remnants of the civilization discovered
there is the true site of Atlantis.
The Greek residents on Santorini are the friendliest, warm-hearted people that you will ever meet. I recommend at least a 3-day stay, so you can take in all sites, beaches and
a fabulous museum on this Island.
