Greece vs. Italy: Where Will You Find the Best Beaches, Food, and Views?

Greek views have a particular serenity: whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, windmills turning slowly in the wind, cobalt domes, and seas so blue they don’t seem real.

Some of Europe’s most photographed places are here:

• Santorini’s caldera

• Meteora monasteries floating above the clouds

• Symi’s neoclassical harbor

• Amorgos cliffs plunging into neon water

• The lunar landscapes of Milos
