The lost civilization of Atlantis

Santorini island is located in south end of Cyclades. In 1626 BC a large scale eruption befallen, and large part of this island was blown off in explosion.
Crescent form of this island is derived from outer rim of a crater which was
formed by the large eruption. And the large eruption gave this island a large scale cliff and variety of landscapes. Sailing into the "Old port", we can see many white house, blue dome... on top of the super cliff. It looks like the super cliff puts on a white crown with blue precious stones.




Santorini has many ruins. It is believed widely that advanced civilization flourished on this island before the eruption. And so, some believes Santorini is The lost civilization of Atlantis.
