Oia

It is possibly the most photographed and requested location on the island of Santorini. His well-known sunset ritual is well-known all across the world. And so, as if it were a rite, the island's residents travel there at sunset to take in this magnificent sight. It is a little town with whitewashed buildings and a narrow alley.

Oia was formerly known as Apäno Meria, a name that is still used there as Pano Meria[6], and the locals are still referred to as Apanomerites (v). One of the two harbors of ancient Thera, the Greek-named Oia was situated where Kamari is today in the southeast of the island.

The surroundings are magical thanks to the many steps and obscure corners. In its various nooks, the most eclectic and bohemian types of craft stores predominate. This village is primarily made up of cafes and patios with vistas and the most serene music. Enjoy its hermitages and churches, particularly the Plátani church, one of Oia's most stunning locations. Its maritime museum is also interesting to check out.
