History
Santorini’s present form results from a major Bronze Age volcanic eruption (often linked to Akrotiri’s burial) that reshaped Aegean trade routes and left fertile volcanic soils.
Conservation
The island manages visitor pressure by limiting access at sensitive archaeological sites and encouraging water conservation; stick to marked paths and minimize single-use plastics.
