  • Oia Town, Santorini, Greece. A rooftop is whitewashed, next door to the blue dome of a Greek Orthodox church.

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 /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Greece Santorini Oia cliff cave home caldera Aegean Sea ocean sun stairs steps bright colors door doors window windows patio porch wall house home cottage bungalow table chairs flowers door doors window windows work worker cross bell belltower whitewash paint painting
