  • Oia Town, Santorini, Greece. The exposed portions of houses and patios seem to be built directly atop one-another.

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 chair table lounge
