Santorini Volcano: Information about the Volcano of Santorini
The Volcano, Santorini Palea (old) Kameni and Nea (new) Kameni ( an adjective that means burned in Greek) are two small islands of black lava positioned in the centre of the basin of Santorini and are, geographically, the youngest islets in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Palea Kameni is about 2000 years old while Nea Kameni’s “life” does not exceed 500 years.

Caldera, as the volcano is called, is one of the main attractions of Santorini and the setting of many villages.

The Caldera offers an incredible show from the villages situated on the high cliffs, especially during the amazingly coloured sunset.

Tourists can visit the volcano by taking one of the daily cruises advertised in any village. One can walk upon the solid black lava sides of the steaming volcano.


Nea Kameni is the central one, and once on its shore, after a walk of 20 minutes in the “lunar” scenery, visitors will discover the volcano’s crater and other openings bursting with sulphur steam.

The area also offers an incredible view of the beautiful villages hanging on the cliffs. The oldest volcano, Palea Kameni also has
hot springs
