Legend goes that Santorini was created by a rock given to Jason and the Argonauts by Triton. The rock was dropped in the ocean and voila…Santorini.
Then came the volcanic eruption. I have seen dates of this huge catastrophy between 1400 BC and 1600 BC although more recent soil dating puts it closer to 1613 BC. They say the tsunami that followed demolished the Minoan civilization on Crete (people that lived there since 3000 BC). The latest earthquake here was in 1956.
We are staying in a traditional Cave House built into the cliffs over 1000 years ago.
