The Saronic Gulf opposite Athens is one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of Greece, full of beautiful landscapes, small towns, islands, archeological remains and one of Europe's least known active volcanic areas. Join us on a relaxing tour to discover this fascinating area!

Subduction zones

Convergent plate boundaries and subduction zones
As an oceanic plates collides with another plate, it is subducted and generates volcanism on the overlying plate.

Lava lakes

Hot Spots

Intraplate volcanism
A third tectonic setting where volcanism occurs is believed to be the result of mantle plumes and not directly related to plate boundaries. So called hot spot volcanoes fall into this category.
