You step from the shaded car into wind that pushes the caldera’s salt and sun toward the cliff edge; below, white houses cling to volcanic rock and the Aegean flashes a hard blue. In four hours a private driver-guide threads you through those cliff-top alleys, pauses for the famous blue domes of Oia, and opens a window onto views most visitors only glimpse from postcards.
