Design a Santorini Map Poster
Santorini's map tells the story of one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in recorded history. The island is actually the crescent-shaped rim of a submerged caldera, its sheer western cliffs plunging 300 meters into the deep blue waters of the volcanic basin. Fira, the capital, perches along this dramatic cliff edge, while the iconic village of Oia crowns the northern tip. The eastern side slopes gently toward black sand beaches at Kamari and Perissa, divided by the ancient headland of Mesa Vouno where the ruins of Ancient Thera look down from 369 meters.
Santorini — the city's layout
A custom map poster of Santorini, Greece turns a meaningful location into personalized wall art — completely free with MapPoster.
The Minoan eruption of around 1600 BC, one of the largest volcanic events in the last 10,000 years, destroyed the island's center and may have inspired the legend of Atlantis. Today, the caldera contains the still-active volcanic islets of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni, visible at the center of the map. Santorini produces distinctive wines from vines trained in ground-level baskets to resist the fierce Aegean winds. Aegean blue, brilliant white, or warm volcanic red capture the otherworldly beauty of this crescent-shaped island.
