 Santorini
Archaeological evidence indicates that the (then) dome-shaped island was inhabited by the Minoans prior to 3200 BC when the Cretans invaded (but the Minoans were the Cretans of the time of the eruption); at this time it was known as Stroggili or Strongyle (meaning 'round').
Probably somewhere between 1650 and 1645 BC[?] (controversy rages within professional archeology) the volcano in the centre of the island erupted violently, demolishing the centre portion of the island and creating a 100 to 150m high tidal wave that devastated the north coast of Crete, 70km (45 miles) away.
This disappearance of the centre of the island is regarded by many as the most likely source for the story of Atlantis, and it also explains the characteristic sheer cliffs that occur on the perimeter of the explosion zone on the remaining islands.

And indeed, across much of the second millennium BC radiocarbon dating offered dates consonant with the conventional chronology, but, in the period around the start of the Aegean Late Bronze Age, or the middle of the second millennium BC, radiocarbon evidence clearly indicated an earlier chronology than the existing conventional one.
The ice cores show the disturbances starting in 1644 (registering in 1645) and the tree rings show a big spike in 1628 which was probably the eruption of Thera, though the entire period was disturbed long after.
The evidence for the 5200 BC event is strong in the Dome C core.

The exact date of the eruption remains somewhat controversial, although most radiometric studies show that it falls between 1615-1645 BC, consistent with a pronounced acid-ice layer from the Greenland cores, dated at 1636 BC.
Although the ~1630 BC eruption of Santorini is recognized as one of the most explosive volcanic eruptions in historic times, the event is only a single eruption in a continuum of eruptive activity associated with subduction.
