Santorini
Santorini is one of the Cycladic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a massive volcanic eruption in the 17th century BC, which shaped its stunning rugged landscape and created its famous caldera. The Venetians named it Santorini, a reference to Santa Irini, which was the name of a church on the island.
Its cubic houses are not built at sea level; instead, they are whitewashed and nestled along the inner slopes of the volcanic caldera, creating its two main towns: Thira and Oia. These towns boast breathtaking views of the sea, the small islands to the west, and the beaches adorned with white, red, and black lava stones. Additionally, Santorini is one of the few places in the world that preserves architectural ensembles of cave houses built on volcanic soil.
Since the 1980s, countless couples from around the world have chosen Santorini as the venue for their weddings or as a destination for their honeymoons, drawn by its dreamy, picturesque allure that leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of all who visit. The captivating sunset views, the minimalist architecture of the Cyclades, the spectacular rocky landscape, and the presence of the volcano are the defining features of this enchanting island.
