Santorini used to be circular, but a massive volcanic explosion around 3,500 years ago blew out the center of the island. High cliffs jutting into the sea are all that's left of the crater rim. The surrounding islands are the remains of the sides of the crater, and the sea has filled in the gaps, forming a beautiful bay. Sunsets on the island are particularly striking; all the restaurants and bars in the area offer a magnificent view from high-rise balconies and none as impressive as the view from Flyaway Creative Restaurant, where you can dine on authentic Greek cuisine as you await the famous Santorini Sunset.
