GREEK ISLANDS SANTORINI
A member of the Cyclades group of Aegean Islands. Santorini offers the visitor a unique beaty. Jetting out from the deep blue sea its vlacanic sheer cliffs topped with gleaming white village homes and churches resemble snow capped nountains. The volcanic effects are obvious on the island's western site while the eastern portion is much smoother with longer beaches. The entire center of the circular island sank into the sea during the tremendous volcanic explosion 3.500 years ago. Some scholars belive that the island is part of the legendary lost continent of Atlantis which supposedly slipped underwater during the disaster.
