Santorini. Distance from Pireaus: 130 n.m

Santorini, one of the best known of the Cyclades, differs from all other Greek islands thanks to its geological morphology, the result of action by a volcano now dormant.

The landscape on the western side of the island, where towering cliffs crowned by tiny and blindingly-white houses plunge straight into the depths of the sea.

The steep coastline of the west is countered by the vast beaches of the east side, some of them with black sand and others with pebbles.

Don't miss a visit to the volcano, the Minoan city at Akrotiri or the unique sunset at Oia.
