Believed to be the remaining link to the Lost City of Atlantis, in Greek mythology Santorini was created when Euphemus, son of Poseidon, threw a clod of earth into the ocean after he dreamt that he made love to a nymph.

In his dream, the nymph became with child and fearing the wrath of her Father Triton, she instructed to Euphemus to retrieve the clod of earth from Anafi Island and throw it into the sea so that she made hide and give birth.

Euphemus did as the nymph asked, and the island of Santorini appeared.
