Santorini

Santorini is a Greek island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast from Greece's mainland. The island is volcanic and is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic explosion. This can be seen from the island's rough nature and beaches with different colored sands representing different geologic layers.

Besdies of the volanic views Santorini is also known for its architecture. The traditional architecture of Santorini includes low-lying cubical houses, made of local stone and whitewashed or limewashed with various volcanic ashes used as colours. The unique characteristic is the common utilisation of the hypóskapha: extensions of houses dug sideways or downwards into the surrounding pumice. These rooms are prized because of the high insulation provided by the air-filled pumice, and are used as living quarters of unique coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter.
