Akrotiri (Santorini) is located on the island of Cyprus and is a British Overseas Territory. The territory comprises two areas Akrotiri SBA, or the "Western Sovereign Base Area" (or WSBA), which includes two main bases at RAF Akrotiri and Episkopi Cantonment, plus all of Akrotiri Village's district (including Limassol Salt Lake) and parts of eleven other village districts. The other Area is Dhekelia SBA, or the "Eastern Sovereign Base Area" (or Akrotiri and Dhekelia Sovereign Base Areas shown in pink.ESBA), which includes a base at Ayios Nikolaos plus parts of twelve village districts.

The Sovereign Base Areas were created in 1960 by the Treaty of Establishment, when Cyprus achieved independence from the British Empire. The United Kingdom desired to retain sovereignty over these areas, as this guaranteed the use of UK military bases in Cyprus, including RAF Akrotiri, and a garrison of the British Army.
