Greece is home to some of the most active volcanoes in Europe. There are 39 volcanoes spread around the country, but only five of them are still active. These popular tourist destinations are completely safe to visit, and you can learn a lot more about the volcanoes themselves and how they’ve been shaped the island’s geography and history. All of them are located in an imaginary volcanic "arc" which starts from Corinth and ends in Nisyros. The Santorini Volcano is one of the largest active submarine volcanoes in the world, with the largest caldera on earth. The eruption in around 1,600BC is one of the biggest known volcanic eruptions ever to have occurred, and it devastated not only Santorini but much of the eastern Mediterranean including the Minoan civilization in Crete. However, one of the most impressive volcanoes, is the one in Nisyros, where you can walk right into the heart of the crater. Join us as we take you on a journey through the top 5 active volcanoes in Greece.
