Sunlight threads across white plaster and blue domes as a private minivan curls along the caldera road, leaving the port’s bustle behind. The guide opens a map like a promise, and the island’s volcanic silhouette — cliffs, terraces and the rim of the caldera — becomes the day’s spine.

Santorini’s modern profile follows the massive Bronze Age (Minoan) eruption that buried Akrotiri and formed the present caldera; Venetian and Ottoman eras further shaped its villages.
Conservation
