The village of Oia is located on the northern tip of the island of Santorini Greece. It is considered by many throughout the world to be one of the most charming places to visit, due to its traditional features, peaceful atmosphere, and magnificent view of the sea, the island of Thirassia, and the breathtaking Caldera.
Nestled on the cliffside, above the Aegean Sea, Oia Santorini is the perfect vacation spot for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and the stress of their daily routine. Oia is characterized by whitewashed "cave" houses that are carved in the rock and quaint stone-paved alleyways, which are ideal for nonchalant strolls and touring. Elegant neoclassic manors that belonged to the great captains of the island, offer the village an aristocratic air. |
