Astonishingly, the archipelago is an active volcano to this day, of which the caldera is mostly submerged beneath the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these tiny islands displays Santorini&#8217;s unique volcanic landscape, and while Th\u00edra is the principle island people come to, some of the smaller isles off Th\u00edra&#8217;s coast are worth exploring, too.

Palea Kam\u00e9ni (which translates to &#8216;old&#8217;) formed in 196 BC, but Nea Kam\u00e9ni (which means &#8216;new&#8217;) is said to have been seen for the first time in 1711. Back in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, Nea Kam\u00e9ni consisted of two islands with an abundance of fig trees growing in their volcanic soil, but these have since been joined together by Santorini&#8217;s volcanic activity.<\/p>\n<p>Nea Kam\u00e9ni exhibits its volcanic origin with a stark landscape of rock and lava, and just one fig tree named Erinia, which the island&#8217;s port has also been named after. Nea&#8217;s main attraction is the 130-metre-high volcanic crater, which many of the island&#8217;s visitors climb \u2013 or take the cable car up \u00ad\u2013 to circumnavigate the crater rim and take in the spectacular views. From here, people then continue around the coast to swim in the orange-hued hot springs that are famous for their therapeutic qualities.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Island Hopping in The Cyclades\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SantoriniSunset_iStock_ManuWe_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As well as displaying a unique volcanic landscape, the archipelago also exhibits Santorini&#8217;s traditions.
