First formed in 16th century through volcanic eruptions, and was enlarged the same way, Nea Kameni is a small uninhabited island in the Bay of Santorini. It is nearly round and has a diameter of approximately 2 km and an area of 3.4 sq. km.
The nearly barren island is visited daily by dozens of tourist boats throughout the summer. The visitors then take to climbing a difficult path to 150 metre high volcanic crater, from which a sulpherous smoke rises, that transformes the environment into a "yellow wasteland". The last (small) eruption happened in 1950.

The view at dusk from the window in our hotel room at the Hotel Kavalari in Fira, Santorini.
Originally a captain's house, Hotel Kavalari was converted into a hotel over a period of fifteen years. The traditional island architectural style of the Kavalari has exterior stairways, which wind down the cliff to various flowered terraces, designed for the exclusive enjoyment of our guests. The hotel has nineteen rooms, all built directly into the cliff. Each room has its own character, some resembling small caves. All rooms have access to a terrace where guests may enjoy tranquil surroundings and spectacular sunsets.
