Oia Town, Santorini, Greece. A bell tower stands high above the doors of a Greek Orthodox church sandwiched into the very top of Oia town. 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 /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Greece Santorini Oia cliff cave home caldera Aegean Sea ocean sun stairs steps bright colors door doors window windows wall cross bell bell tower belltower Greek Orthodox Church chapel window windows door doors shutter shutters
