Santorini island was known as strongili, which means round in Greek. Thousands of years ago Strongilly was the victim of a huge volcanic eruption. The eruption was so huge that many consider it to be the main cause of the destruction of the great Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, which is located 70 nautical miles away. Such a severe explosion caused huge waves to reach the surrounding islands and the edges of Crete. After the eruption, the center of Santorini sank, followed by several earthquakes that also destroyed a large part of the rest of the island. Santorini Island came into existence as a result of intense volcanic activity and caused a large eruption (caldera) due to the severe eruption.
