I'm not certain why we love Santorini, the Greek island, but most people do. It's a hot, dry crescent of land, a rim of an ancient volcanic caldera. The other rim is nearly gone and the ocean flooded into what is now a big bay. There is little water, hot sun, steep cliffs, and high prices. But tourists and vacationers still flock to Santorini. It may be the model for Atlantis.
