 Santorini
While the spectacular views of Fira (or Phira), Ia, and Imreovigli are enough to enchant the most demanding traveler, Santorini's history which reaches back three thousand years, offers another dimension to the natural beauty of the island.
The excavations at Akrotiri have unveiled a plethora of prehistoric frescos which speak of the existence of a joyous society before it was abruptly interrupted by one of the largest volcanic explosions known in the history of mankind.
The Museum of Prehistoric Art in Santorini, located in the town of Fira, is one of the most important museums of Cycladic Art in the world, and it mostly houses artifacts unearthed during the excavations in Akrotiri.

  Fossil plants from Weichselian interstadials, Santorini (Greece) II — The Thera Foundation
Plant fossils from this locality in the neighbourhood of Fira must have been known at least since the time when the pumice and the underlying ashes were used for building purposes.
One imprint of a fragmentary leaf is consisting of the apical end of a compound, imparipinnate leaf with three leaflets, probably from layer 16 from the Fira quarries, was kindly lent to me by Nicolas Kokkalakis of the Roman Catholic Church at Fira.
It is therefore very probable that the Fira, Akrotiri/Millo, and Therasia palaeosols from Santorini represent interstadials with trees in the Weichselian, while during the stadials only herbs (steppe?) grew on Santorini.

Fira Town, also known as "Thira" and "Phira" is the capital of Santorini and is perched on the edge of the caldera rim, with a switchback staircase (587 steps) leading up to it from the water.
You take a donkey ride to the top, walk (watch out for donkey droppings!) or hop on the cable-car, for any way you arrive at the top, it will certainly be well worth the effort if only for the view over the caldera and the volcano.
Inland from the caldera rim, the rest of the island slopes steeply away and is given over to the production of tomatoes and the ground-crawling vines from which the wine that Santorini is famous for.

 Mechanism of the Minoan Eruption of Santorini — The Thera Foundation
The Bo 1 layer reaches its greatest thickness directly south of the town of Fira (in the pumice quarries).
The greatest thickness exists between the town of Fira and Cape Athinios (Gunther 1972), proving again that the vent was situated between the present-day Nea Kameni island and the caldera walls west of Cape Alonáki.
For example, around Merovigli (directly north of Fira at a height of about 320 m) there are only 4 m, while on Mount Profitis Ilias the Bo 3 deposits are totally lacking.
