Oia

Oia perches on the slope of Santorini’s rugged caldera, so you’re never far from a dramatic view, whether you’re gazing over the silhouettes of white-washed churches or watching the sun set over a volcano. 

Iconic artists through the ages have found inspiration beneath Oia’s lucent skies, so it’s no surprise that there are plenty of studios and galleries to visit. You can explore the village’s seafaring past at the Naval Maritime Museum. Hire a moped to explore the village’s narrow cobbled streets before ending your day with some fresh seafood and a glass of Nykteri wine in a traditional taverna.
