Santorini Photos

Santorini, Greece
Blue-domed whitewashed buildings characterize Oia. These buildings are perched on the cliffs all-around the town giving a unique stay experience.
Some of the roof-top restaurants in Oia gives an opportunity to witness the iconic Santorini sunset without having to face crowds.
Night view of Oia is equally magical, as the blue-domed building glimmer with lights.
