Above: The caldera of Santorini, with Nea Kameni in the centre and Imerovigli and Skaros Rock to the left, an original site for
one of the five Venetian castles from the 1200's.
Nea Kameni is still an active volcanic island with hot springs and trails, first created
in 47 AD, and it has had regular fairly mild eruptions including 1707–1712, 1866–1870, 1925–1928 and 1939-1941, with the last small eruption happening in 1950.
