Axiraa
Caldera
Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera.
A giant central, rectangular lagoon, which measures about 12 by 7 km, is surrounded by 300 m high, steep cliffs on three sides. The depth of the caldera, at 400m, makes it possible for all but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay.
