Santorini
Santorini, whose capital is Thera (or Fira), is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200km (120 miles) southeast of Greece on the mainland. It is the largest island of a small circular archipelago that bears the same name and is the rest of a volcanic caldera. The island forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades island group. The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi and Christiana.
