The Caldera
An unforgettable experience in Santorini
What is Caldera?
The caldera of Santorini is a spectacular natural amphitheater, created by one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history. Steep cliffs up to 300 meters high plunge into the sea, forming a breathtaking landscape.
The view from the picturesque villages such as Fira, Oia and Imerovigli is breathtaking at any time of the day, especially at sunset. The caldera is not only a geological wonder, but also one of the most romantic and photogenic spots in the Mediterranean.
