Oia is the village at the northwestern tip of Santorini, strung for almost two kilometres along the rim of the volcanic caldera, about 11 km north of Fira. The caldera was formed by the Minoan eruption around 3,600 years ago, and its cliffs drop more than 300 metres to the sea. Oia\u2019s white cube houses, cave dwellings dug into the pumice, blue-domed churches and windmills make it the most photographed village on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Oia was a prosperous sea captains\u2019 village whose ships traded from Alexandria to Russia. The captains\u2019 neoclassical mansions still stand in the upper part of the village, while sailors lived in simpler cave houses, called yposkafa, on the cliff edge. The 1956 Amorgos earthquake badly damaged Oia, and from 1976 it was restored under a Greek National Tourism Organisation programme for traditional settlements. Today many cave houses are hotels with terraces and plunge pools, and one captain\u2019s mansion holds the Naval Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informations pour les visiteurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking around Oia is free. The main street, Nikolaou Nomikou, is a car-free lane lined with shops, galleries and caf\u00e9s that leads to the ruins of the Venetian castle of Agios Nikolaos at the western tip, the classic sunset viewpoint. Sunset is around 20:40 in late June and around 17:10 in December, and in summer the castle and the lanes around it fill up an hour or more beforehand. For quieter streets and better photos, come early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environ 300 marches descendent d\u2019Oia jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la baie d\u2019Ammoudi, petit port avec quelques tavernes de poisson et une plage de galets, et la baie d\u2019Armeni, en contrebas au sud du village, est un point de d\u00e9part des excursions en bateau. Le sentier de la caldeira entre Fira et Oia, long d\u2019environ 10 km et passant par Firostefani et Imerovigli, se parcourt en trois \u00e0 quatre heures ; il offre peu d\u2019ombre, alors partez t\u00f4t et emportez de l\u2019eau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oia is about 25\u201330 minutes by taxi or car from Santorini Airport and about 45 minutes from the ferry port of Athinios. KTEL buses run via the bus station in Fira, where you change: buses from Fira to Oia leave at least every 30 minutes for most of the day and cost \u20ac2.20, the same as the airport bus, while Fira to Athinios costs \u20ac2.70. Parking at the edge of the village is limited and the roads are busy on summer evenings, so arrive well before sunset or come by bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
