You arrive on a narrow cliff road as the light thins, the Aegean a dark ribbon below and the caldera wind pushing at your jacket. The tour begins low among the island’s stubborn vines—the grape shoots hug the ground like survivors—and ends perched on Oia’s rim where the sun makes a slow, orange exit behind the caldera.
