Thirassia, although exactly opposite the Santorini caldera, is a complete contrast from Santorini. Quiet and undeveloped, it is almost untouched by tourism. The island of Thirassia comes under the jurisdiction of the Community of Oia.

Santorini Caldera: Information and pictures of the Caldera in Santorini island, Cyclades, Greece.

The caldera of Santorini is actually a basin, four miles in diameter which scientists and archaeologists have linked with the myth of Atlantis. The landscape consists of steel rocks and cliffs that tower above almost touching the sky. It is more than a thousand feet above the sea level and extends underneath the sea for an additional thousand feet, thereby creating a perfect harbour. The caldera has an elevation, which varies between 150 to 350 meters. The distance from one end of the island (Cape Exomitis) to the other end (Cape Mavropetra) is 18 km. The island's breadth varies from 2 to 6 km. Source: www.greeka.com

The Cycladic island of Santorini effortlessly enchants with its phenomenal landscape that's replete with sapphire blue water, snow-white architecture, and multicoloured mille-feuille-like cliffs.
