Santorini
A flooded volcanic caldera, a Bronze Age city under ash, and too many people at sunset.
Santorini is the rim of a collapsed volcano, which is why the views are what they are and why the towns are stacked the way they are. Akrotiri, buried by the eruption, is the archaeological reason to come; the wineries on the plateau are the reason to stay a day longer.
