  • Fira Town, Santorini, Greece.  A cafe sits atop beauty salon, offering spectacular views of the ocean and caldera far below.  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.  The two large towns on Santorini, Oia and Fira towns, overlook the caldera.  © Rick Collier<br />
