Cut into harsh cliffs, Santorini boldy faces the shining Aegean Sea. Classic white-washed buildings give the island a dazzling feel. Santorini sits perched atop a volcanic crater, now a lagoon. Watching ships come off the sea brings memories of celebrated Greek epics. The island offers plenty of opportunities to relax and to explore its calming surroundings. Dine on its delicious wines and fanciful flavors. Some believe its volcanic eruption was the source of the legend of Atlantis. Either way, the island is surely one of epics, legends, and fairy tales.
