Oia, the most famous settlement of Santorini, is mainly known for its unique sunset, a unique moment when the sun sinks into the sea against the eerie and charming backdrop of the volcano. Oia is located in the northernmost part of the caldera and while the permanent residents do not exceed 1,000 the place is full of tourists at least 7-8 months of the year.
The traditional village of Oia preserves unchanged the Cycladic architecture in all the buildings, from the houses to the oia luxury villas. The place has all the modern tourist infrastructure, has a large market with shops in its narrow streets, award-winning restaurants and many churches with a distinctive blue dome. The square of Oia was built relatively recently and is the meeting point as well as the place where all the coaches, luxury vans and visitors' cars gather. Cars are prohibited in the heart of the settlement, although this would be impossible as its stone streets are quite narrow.
The distance of Oia from Fira is about 10 km, while the picturesque port of Ammoudi with its beautiful fish taverns is only 3 minutes away by car. The most beautiful place to enjoy the sunset, apart of course from the unobstructed view offered by the oia luxury villas, is the Castle, at the northernmost point of Oia. The captain's houses and submarine houses of the settlement have been renovated and have become luxury residences or oia luxury villas.
Santorini is the most famous Greek island and not without reason. But Oia is that place that really catches all eyes.
