Oia is one of the most picturesque settlements on the island, boasting idyllic spots to admire the sweeping sunsets. Perched on the sheer caldera cliffs, on the northern part of Santorini, Oia faces a picture-perfect view of the volcanic islets and the azure expanse of the Aegean Sea.

Pretty little whitewashed houses, winding alleys, and blue-domed churches reveal the village’s distinctive Cycladic character at every turn. You will also find shops, taverns, cafes, and several historical and cultural sites to explore, like the Maritime Museum and the ruins of a Venetian fortress, which is also a great spot to admire the sunset. 

Sunset-viewing is definitely going to be the highlight of your Oia experience. Besides, Santorini, if anything, offers one of the most legendary sunsets in the world, and Oia is one of the best places to watch this celestial wonder. People visit Oia by the thousands every year, to take stunning photographs of the famous sunset and be swept away by its mystifying vibes!
