In the village of Oia on the Greek island of Santorini, this experience almost comes true. It has appeared in films such as "Summer of Jeans" and "Tomb Raider." The iconic Cycladic architecture—cube-shaped, flat-roofed white houses—and the breathtaking cliffside views seem to belong outside of the real world. Its unique architectural style originated in the late 19th century, when sailors and businessmen built houses directly on the volcanic cliffs, making it cool in summer and warm in winter. The blue and white paint is not just for aesthetics: the lime coating allows rainwater to flow down and be collected and used. Today, visitors can wander the cobbled alleys, visit the Naval Maritime Museum, or climb the ruins of St. Nicholas Castle to watch the unforgettable sunset.
Known as the "Eagle's Nest", Oia overlooks the two volcanic islands of Palia and Nea Kameni, as well as the island of Teresa, which was connected to Santorini before the Minoan volcano erupted in 1600 BC. Santorini itself is like a rocky crown in the sea - a huge crater half sunk into the sea, shaped by the eruption in 1600 BC, one of the largest and most violent volcanic eruptions in human history.Oia town, Santorini, Greece
