Santorini is a Greek archipelago, located in the Aegean Sea, hundreds of miles from the main islands of Greece and characterized by its white buildings with roofs painted and decorated in shades of blue.

Santorini and beautiful white washed blue domed churches are synonymous with each other. With over 250 Santorini churches on the tiny Greek Island you cannot turn round without viewing yet another pretty little church just waiting to be photographed.

Santorini was formed in the explosion of a volcano. In the center of the islands has formed a lagoon surrounded by numerous beaches of sand, stones or rocks. After the lava formed at the different parts of the island, Santorini is now several beaches formed by rocks or sand of different colors.
