Ancient Thira: Mesa Vouno Museums: The Museum of Prehistoric Thera, The wall paintings of Thera Exhibition, The Archaeological Museum, The Folklore Museum, The Megaron Syzi, The Naval Museum and The Wine Museum   Volcano The present day crescent shape of the island is a consequence of the activity of the volcano in pre-historic times.
