Santorini

We just got done touring Santorini. A couple of thousand years ago the biggest volcanic eruption ever, probably, vaporised the Minoan civilization. It left a large caldera which filled with ocean water. The small part of this island that remained is this circular rim around a vast ocean filled crater 1000 feet deep. Three thousand feet of the islands elevation disappeared. This is a really pretty place that survives on cruise ship visits. Today there are three ships here which disgorged about 4000 people into tenders. We visited black sand beaches and small villages. A laid back place.
