Santorini History
Santorini Island was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. The first settlers of the island named it Strogyli (meaning round), due to its round shape, and then Kallisti (the beautiful one).
Around 1550 - 1500 B.C. the violent volcanic eruption took place, submerging a large part of the island beneath the Aegean waters, creating the famous Caldera. The eruption wiped out all life on the island, including the Minoan city of Akrotiri, which is believed to be connected to the Lost City of Atlantis.
During the 3rd and 2nd century B.C. more eruptions followed and the isles of Thirassia, Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni emerged on the surface of the sea in the Caldera area. The name Thira is derived from the name of the leader of the Dorian settlers.
Later, during the Venetian Rule, the island was named Santorini, after the Church of Saint Irene, located on the island.
