You step from an air-conditioned SUV onto a rim of rock that drops straight into blue so deep it looks painted. The guide angles the camera, lifts a sunhat into the light and instructs a simple turn — and suddenly the whitewashed houses and twin blue domes of Oia feel like a staged scene made for you alone.
