Santorini, with its iconic caldera, whitewashed buildings, and deep blue domes, is not just a postcard paradise but a testament to a dramatic geological and historical narrative. This island, once part of the Minoan civilization, was forever altered by a colossal volcanic eruption around 1600 BCE, which some speculate led to the fall of the Minoans and inspired the legend of Atlantis. The result is a landscape that is as breathtaking as it is steeped in history.
