Volcanic Island

Santorini is a major tourist attraction in Greece. This island is porbably what you imagine Greece to look like. On this island are the white buildings with blue tops. This island is located in the middle of the Aegean Sea. The name Santorini means Saint Irene. Santorini is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the world and what remains today is a submerged volcano and a caldera. During the eruption theentire center of the circular island sank. One thing to do if you even visit this island is to visit the villiage of  Oia. It is the most famous of all the villages.It has a quite life and fantastic sunsets. And don't forget about all the beautiful beaches on this island too!
