Santorine is the most extraordinary island in the Aegean. A volcano rose here from the sea in prehistoric times, deposited its lava on the flanks of a high rock already there and an island was born. Many archaeologists believe that Santorini is in fact the site of the lost city of Atlantis. Sailing into the gulf, one sees gaunt & sheer cliffs rising all around. The ascent from the port to the town of Santorine/Thira is made either in the comfort of the cable car, or up a zig-zag stairway on mules. Many of our group rode the mules , but I rode the cable car. You can see homes dug out in the cliffs as you ascend to the top. From the summit, the panoramic view over the flooded crater to the small, still active volcanic islands in the bay is breathtaking .
