Although dormant, Santorini is an active volcano. Numerous minor and medium-sized, mainly effusive, eruptions have built the dark-colored lava shields of Nea and Palea Kameni inside the caldera.
The most unique outcome of volcano eruption is the formation of the Caldera of Santorini, which covers a great part of the island. The impressive enormous cliffs, where beautiful small white houses and hotels are built, form its wild beauty and offer a great sight of the Volcano and the neighboring islands.
Santorini volcano tours are the perfect way to get to know Santorini's rich volcanic history. Hike up the famed volcano, feel the power of Nea Kammeni's volcanic landscape and swim, if you wish so, in the healing waters of its hot springs.
