Aspronisi is a tiny, uninhabited islet situated within Santorini's caldera, characterized by its brilliant white cliffs made of pumice from the Minoan eruption. The name 'Aspronisi' means 'white island' in Greek, reflecting its distinctive appearance. Visitors can view Aspronisi from boat tours that circle the caldera, often stopping for swimming or photo opportunities. The islet's stark white rock contrasts vividly with the deep blue sea, making it a popular subject for photography.
