A small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea,
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions the planet has ever seen: The Minoan eruption leaving a
giant central lagoon
Volcanic, black-sand beaches. There may not be a more picturesque spot in Europe than this sky-high island set on a cliff overlooking the glittering Aegean. Whitewashed stern to stern, the island's architectural curves and angles merge into an unforgettable melange. Brilliant whitewashed houses with cerulean rooftops and spectacular views. This is the quintessential Greek island in all of its amazing beauty. Go spelunking through the caves at Antiparos. Wander through the kitchen of a local restaurant and select your lunch from the fresh catch of the day. Then toast another spectacular sunset with a glass of ouzo from the famous terraced bars of Fira overlooking the harbor. You can ride a donkey or cable car to the top of the cliff, or visit Akrotiri, possibly the lost city of Atlantis.
