Santorini Stair

Moments like the one in this vignette are common on Santorini, where one finds a narrow, enclosing stair down the steep slope of the caldera. Stairs like this one make connections to horizontal paths paralleling the slope, between whitewashed buildings clustered across the hillsides. Domes, bell towers and chimneys accentuate the attractive vernacular architecture of Santorini’s villages.
