OIA

Introduction

Oia is Santorini's most dreamy, famous cliffside town—white houses and blue-domed churches with a world-famous Aegean sunset, the most longed-for image of Santorini and Greece. Santorini is a famed volcanic island in the Aegean, shaped by an ancient violent eruption into a crescent embracing a deep-blue caldera; white towns dot the steep volcanic cliffs, dreamlike. Oia, on the north tip's cliff top, spreads in tiers: snow-white houses (Cycladic white-wall style), iconic blue domes, winding white alleys, bougainvillea—white walls, blue domes and sea-and-sky form Santorini's classic, dreamy picture. Oia's most enchanting is its world-famous sunset—at dusk the sun sinks into the Aegean, gilding sky, sea and the white town in brilliant gold-red as crowds hold their breath; romantic, unforgettable. Strolling Oia's white alleys, admiring blue domes and the sea, awaiting the sunset, is Santorini's must-do. Visiting Santorini, Oia and its sunset is the island's top sight.
