This is the breathtaking village of Oia on the
Greek island of Santorini!! Oia (prounanced ‘Ia’) is probably the most
famous and commonly photographed village in Santorini. The picturesque location is famous for its stunning
sunsets, simple charm, and houses that have been carved into the volcanic rock
cliffs. This is a reminiscent of the age of Venetian
rule over the island
There are so many beautiful churches all over the island, the blue dome roof is very common.
Oia offers a spectacular view over the volcano as well as the island of Thirassia.
Santorini is the site of one of the largest volcanic
eruptions in
recorded history (over 3500
years ago)
Local laws protect beauty of the island by not allowing eyesores such as wires (no need to crop power lines out of these pictures).
We recieved a great recommendation for best view of the sunset (thank you scooter rental guy). It was on the patio of Santo Wines. We rode the scooters & quads there and loved every minute.
Santo's patio P.S. Wine tasting via quad is awesome
