  “To the islands of Hephaestus and Poseidon”

Did you know that most of the Aegean owes its existence to volcanoes? Some of them are still active like the ones in Santorini, Nisyros, Melos and Methana. Let us take you on a journey through the depths of time and show you how tectonic plates, earthquakes and lava gave the Aegean Sea its present form. Want to know how? Models of active volcanoes, impressive film footage and real volcanic rocks give you the backstage view of a volcanic eruption. See, hear and touch what the earth is capable of when it gets angry. Witness the beauty that emerges when everything calms down again.
