Why Oia matters
Oia is the postcard of Santorini: whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and windmills on the cliff edge. Every evening the lanes fill as people gather along the walls for the sunset. Beyond the crowds, the village still has captains' houses carved into the rock, small galleries and quiet lanes in the morning. Come early for photographs and stay for the evening light.
Talking points
- The sunset gathering is a daily ritual in summer.
- Houses are carved into the volcanic cliff, a local way to build.
- Mornings are quiet and perfect for photos.
