9Oia, Santorini, Greece

Oia is a masterclass in minimalism and light. Carved into volcanic cliffs above the Aegean, its whitewashed houses, blue domes, and cave dwellings feel sculpted rather than built. 

The caldera backdrop adds cinematic depth, while shifting light throughout the day transforms the town’s mood entirely. Every surface reflects the sun differently, making Oia endlessly photogenic from dawn to dusk.
