Oia (pronounced Ea, as oi in greek is pronounced e) is the biggest traditional settlement of Santorini.

It was the old capital of the island with a population of 9.000 residents in the beginning of the 20th century.

You may walk in the picturesque "path of Oia" and enjoy the splendid view to the sea and the impressive rocks.

Walking down the path you will meet (many) steps that lead to the harbour of Armenis.


Oia - Santorini


If you keep on walking down the path of Oia, you will pass from the square of the village and the church of Panayia Platsani and you will be leaded to one of the islands northern points, in order to enjoy the view to Thirasia and the famous sunset.

In Oia there are many shops, many galleries, small stores selling hanmade goods of popular art, restaurants, cafeterias, police department, banks and a very beautiful cultural centre.

Under Oia is Ammoudi harbour. You can go to Ammoudi by foot, walking down the steps, or with a car. Ammoudi is a small harbour with a lot of taverns and fresh fish. In the harbour there is a small beach with red and black pebbles.

If you continue your way on foot, through a narrow path, you will meet a rock in the sea not far away from the main land, that is a special choice for swimming. On the rock is built the small church of Ayios Nikolaos.

From Ammoudi you can go with a small boat to Thirasia or you can visit the church Efta Pedes, which is built in a rock in the internal side of Caldera.
