Oia, in the Cyclades islands, Greece
A sun-painted canvas
In the Cyclades islands of Greece, chalk-white buildings cascading down steep hills are a common—though no less incredible—sight. Here in Oia, the main town on the famous isle of Santorini, the sunsets are famed as some of the world's most romantic as they wash the town's pale walls with deep oranges and violets. And as we see here, the warm twilight that follows is an absolute treasure to photographers.

Chalk-white buildings spilling down steep slopes…could this be Santorini?
