Santorini - charming Greek island in the Aegean

Santorini, Greece

The sunsets on the Greek island Santorini are among the most exciting aesthetic experiences that the Aegean can provide. The island in the Aegean Sea belongs to the group of the cyclades and creates an idyllic image with its white houses and the deep blue sea - especially when the sun seems to dive into the sea. Despite the small size, the volcanic landscape offers many beautiful motives. The earthTV camera is located on the roof of Hotel Heliotopos and tries to catch this idyllic atmosphere.

Geographic Information

This ancient Greece shows its history in its landscape. The centre and north is mountainous, the coastline jagged and with so many islands, that it's the longest in Europe - even though the country is quite small. A forested nation until a few centuries ago, now it is famous for its dazzling rock outcrops, which on close inspection often reveal themselves to be the ruins of ancient architecture. The Peloponnesus is agricultural, with much land in olive groves.
