Greece is a country that has been formed by several natural phenomena, the rash of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that have created a number of dramatic landscapes worth exploring.
Let’s discover one by one the volcanic islands of Greece and take in their extraordinary beauty.
1. Santorini
The breath-taking scenery, the unique caldera, the exquisite villages amphitheatrically perched on the edge of the cliffs are reasons enough to visit the world-renowned island of Santorini. The iconic caldera was the result of the eruptions that took place between 1613-1614 BC and the entire island of Santorini was reborn from its ashes. The ashes enhanced the island’s soil with exquisite minerals that give a distinctive taste to locally produced goods and wines. Ashes that where spread across the surface, forming the multi-colored volcanic beaches of Santorini that will leave you breathless.

2. Nisyros
The island-volcano of the Dodecanese was erupted in 1888 to form a 4 km long caldera along with 5 smaller craters in the center. It is considered to be the best preserved hydrothermal crater in the world still feeling the air with sulfuric fumes. The scenery is simply magical and the energy, incredible.
3. Milos
The island of Milos is well known for its unusual geological formations and the rich in mineral soil, all results of the eruption from 90,000 BC.
