You step out of the alley and the caldera takes the breath you didn’t know you’d left behind: cliffs drop into aquamarine, white houses stack like steps toward the sea, and the blue domes puncture the skyline. On this hour-long, private photo walk a local guide moves you through tight lanes and cliff-edge viewpoints, setting poses and composing frames where light and architecture meet.
