... Santorini is full of postcard-pefect views like this iconic viewpoint in Oia... Oia is considered the most picturesque village and holds the position of the most visited spot for sunset viewing, as it provides an excellent view of the well-known magical sunset🌅... probably the most famous sunset in the world.... this Cyclades island in the Aegean Sea looks like a place straight out of a fairy tale... with chalk-white buildings topped with cobalt-blue domes carved into cliffs, labyrinth-like alleys, amazing hotels and sapphire waters... Heel Erg Bedankt Loes! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Santorini (known locally as Thira) is the remnant of a volcano in the middle of the sea, which in the last 2 million years has erupted at least 12 times. As a result of devastating eruptions this island gets its unique shape like a crescent moon. According to legend, the island is formed from a strip of land that was thrown into the ocean from the Argo, the ship of Greek mythology.
Oia is a small community on the island. Along the cliff of Oia, houses have been delved into the porous volcanic rock (left over from a large volcanic explosion many years ago that sunk the center of the island).
Parts of these houses are visible and the scenery that results from it is generally perceived as being typically Greek.
