SANTORINI (Island) KYKLADES
  The island complex of Santorini is comprised of the islands of Thera, the largest, Thirassia, the smallest and Aspronissi a small uninhabited island. These three islands are the remnants of the large prehistoric island called Strongyle due to its round shape and later Kalliste due to its beauty.
  After an immense volcanic eruption around 1450 BC and the submersion of the central part of Strongyle, the Caldera (basin) was formed, into which the sea flooded. After centuries, in its centre emerged the volcano islets (Kamenes), Palaia Kameni first and Nea Kameni after centuries.
