YouTube Video Description

https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Very few travelers, other than Steve and I, have ever been so close to Santorini and never stepped foot on it. True, Le Bougainville was only scheduled to cruise through the caldera but I count it as "3 strikes and you're out." A gorgeous sail through the largely submerged sunken caldera composed of at least four partially overlapping calderas, of which the oldest caldera was formed approximately 180,000 years ago.
