Despite the verdicts in Akrotiri that indicate allure historical use as a harbor despite allure current elevation of 300m, geologists contend that multiple cavity collapses occurred. Santorini has attracted the consideration of both geoscientists and paleontologists. However, geoscientists have largely missed the presence of numerous extreme-angle faults accompanying small dip-slip dislocation and the formation of domes induced by these faults. The discovery of the engrossed town of Akrotiri, accompanying its well-kept buildings and artifacts, by archaeologists, in addition to the destruction of the prospering Minoan civilization and Knossos in Crete all the while the same era, has create significant interest. Plato's "Dialogues" arguing the catastrophe of Atlantis on the reef is also relevant. However, the beginning interpretation of the fall of monstrous areas in Santorini and the friendship with the legend of Atlantis by paleontologists, such as Galanopoulos in 1957, overrated the amount of volcanic excrement and misinterpreted the features on the caldera divider. As an experienced field geology enthusiast, I argue that the terrain of Santorini is mainly the result of faulting alternatively erosion or volcanism. The slopes of Thira-Thiresia made fold-like structures, and skilled was no caldera collapse.
