Oia, a village 12 km away from Fira and situated above an impressive cliff in the northern part of the caldera overlooking the island of Thirassia, is one of the most beautiful destinations on the island of Santorini. Oia is renowned for its breathtakingly romantic sunset, with hundreds of people gathering every evening to witness the sun going down on the Aegean Sea. Its traditional Cycladic beauty includes whitewashed houses and labyrinth-like alleys that invite visitors to take leisurely strolls and explore unique cultural attractions such as the ruins of Venetian castle, the Maritime Museum, windmills, art galleries, and lovely restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. Oia is the perfect spot to take a dip in crystal clear waters, go on invigorating hikes, or simply relax while enjoying some of the best views in the world.
