At Santorini’s Caldera, a boat takes visitors to Nea Kameni, a small port. Along the way, waters may be seen gusting from the underwater springs. From the port, walks may be taken at this otherworldly site, around the mostly submerged caldera, a cauldron-like volcanic depression.
It takes nearly 30 minutes of walking to reach the volcanic depression. The route offers a succession of surprises. At some points, hot steam may be seen rising from the depths of the earth. Visits here entail walking between lava-blackened stones and rocks. This is an essential experience for all, at least once in a lifetime.
Fairly considered one of the most important parts and attractions of Santorini, as the Volcano is responsible for the island’s current shape and morphology.
As a result of this volcanic activity, the land was detached and five separate islands were created: Santorini, Therasia, an uninhabited island called Aspronisi and the volcanic islands of Palaia Kammeni and Nea Kammeni, which are all close to each other and therefore easily accessible these days. Not to mention the beautiful beaches, most of them covered in black sand and pebbles made of solidified lava.
