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 Kamenis 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.
