Oia, Cliffside village in Santorini, Greece.
The village extends along the northern edge of Santorini's caldera, featuring white buildings that cascade down volcanic cliffs toward the Aegean Sea.
The settlement flourished during the late 19th century as a maritime center, with a population of 2,500 residents engaged in Mediterranean trade by 1890.
The Naval Museum, housed in a 19th-century mansion, displays maritime artifacts including maps, photographs, and equipment from the village's seafaring period.
Visitors can access Ammoudi port by descending 235 stairs or taking a vehicle around the village to reach waterfront restaurants and fishing boats.
The village incorporates cave houses carved into volcanic rock alongside traditional residences that belonged to ship captains during the trading era.
