Thera
Thera is the modern day capital of Santorini island. In classical times Thera referred to an entire island, which was the southern most of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. A huge volcanic eruption occurred approximately 3600 years ago leaving a cratera known now as Santorini island. Akrotiri is a Bronze Age settlement that remains on the southern coast of this beautiful volcanic island.

Delphi - location of famous oracle Pythias, who was always consulted when major decisions were pending.
