Methana Volcano, Volcano in Troizinia-Methana, Greece
The Methana Volcano rises 760 meters above sea level on a peninsula in the Saronic Gulf, featuring 30 volcanic craters across its surface.
Ancient writers Strabo and Pausanias documented a major volcanic eruption between 276-239 BC during the reign of King Antigonus Gonatas.
Local villagers maintain traditional hiking paths around the volcanic formations, which connect to the main crater near Kaimeni Chora village.
A marked trail carved through ancient lava flows leads visitors to the main crater, which measures 100 meters in diameter and 50 meters in depth.
Scientists discovered an underwater crater at a depth of 200 meters off the coast of Methana peninsula during research expeditions in 1987.
