Oia Town, Santorini, Greece. A multi-level patio and chairs await occupants for sunset cocktails, at a lovely purple cottage. Santorini is one of several islands that ring the blown-out remains of an ancient volcano, rising from the deep ocean in the Aegean Sea. The volcano exploded, leaving several islands surrounding a very deep patch of sea -- actually once the caldera of the volcano.
