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.
