Santorini’s present caldera shape is the result of a massive Minoan-era volcanic eruption that reshaped the island and left active volcanic islets like Nea Kameni.
The caldera and surrounding seas are ecologically sensitive; avoid anchoring in protected beds, take all waste back to shore, and use reef-safe products to limit impact.
