These popular tourism destinations are completely safe to visit, and you can learn a lot more about the volcanoes and how they’ve shaped the islands’ geography and history when you arrive. Before you travel, here’s a brief overview of each one.
It’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece, with millions each year descending on this small island to admire its whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches, which are built perilously into the caldera of a volcano.

It is one of the ‘youngest’ volcanoes in the Mediterranean, with its crater only being created 160,000 years ago. Incredibly, you can walk right into the heart of it across the Lakki Plain!
