Sunset in Santorini of Greece Good To Enjoy
August 31, 2009
Hot sunny days and the warm Aegean Sea entice thousands of holidaymakers to the Greek islands every year. This area is the birthplace of Western civilization and almost everywhere you go there is evidence of the rich, and often violent, past.
Santorini, part of the Cyclades group of islands, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece.
Home to an outpost of Minoans in ancient times, the island has been occupied by a variety of powers as civilisations rose and fell over time. 3,600 years ago a giant volcanic eruption, ten times as large as that at Krakatoa, radically transformed the geography of the island. It created a huge lagoon, approximately 12 kilometres long by 7 kilometres wide, which is connected to the sea in two places. The water in the centre of the lagoon is nearly 400 metres deep. This depth, coupled with the shelter offered by the surrounding islands, made the lagoon an ideal harbour for everyone from ancient Phoenicians to modern holidaymakers on yachting holidays. Read more
