Are these the world's most magical communities?

With their stunning scenery, unique architecture, and meandering pathways, these magical villages are a wonder to behold.

From the clusters of white-washed dwellings clinging to the hillside on a remote Greek island to the beautifully carved earthen homes in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, these communities have a unique regional style and charm.
