Santorini & the Caldera
Santorini is a volcanic island complex of cliff-top settlements, dark beaches, vineyard landscapes and archaeological sites, with Fira, Oia and the caldera forming only the beginning of a more layered Cycladic journey.

Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Santorini's famous crescent is one part of a larger volcanic landscape.
The Greek National Tourism Organisation describes Santorini as a southern Cycladic island complex comprising Thera, Thirasia, Aspronisi, Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni. Successive explosive phases over hundreds of thousands of years formed its characteristic caldera, while villages settled along the rim and beaches reveal black, red and white volcanic material. Reading the island through Fira, Oia, Akrotiri, inland villages and vineyard country turns a single viewpoint into a fuller geological and cultural journey.
