Santorini is part of the Cyclades group of islands in the Aegean Sea, roughly halfway between Crete and Athens. Situated southeast of mainland Greece, Santorini is characterized by rugged landscapes, Minoan ruins, volcanic-sand beaches, and the whitewashed villages of Oia and Fira on the edges of the caldera. The whole island is a massive natural geological museum and has a thriving wine industry that specializes in the indigenous Assyrtiko grape variety. oia santorini
