For world-class romantics, Oia is known as the best place to be. Breathtaking sunsets and people falling in love at every corner. Love is all around. At Oia the sun seems to drop into the sea in a haze of gold and amber. Oia is considered to be the jewel in the island. Top tourist attraction, this small village at the northernwestern tip of the legendary island of Santorini is a premium slice of heaven and looks like it has come straight out of a fairy tale. Sea-overlooking hot tubs at the balconies of luxury hotels, white-washed buildings set against the vibrant blue sky, cocktail bars with vertiginous views and prestigious art galleries, compose a must-visit scenery. oia hotels
However, Oia has much more to offer than just the sunset views. The visitors will be amazed by the pretty white houses scattered around the village, the churches with the characteristic blue domes and the splendid views over the entire caldera! Moreover, the dazzling mansions of the ever rich and powerful ship owners of the 19th and 20th century, in the so-called 'Captains’ Neighbourhood', as well as the traditional rock-built houses in the 'Crew’s Neighbourhood' are only a few of the reasons one should pay the great cycladic island a visit. For anyone interested in the rich naval tradition of the island, the Maritime Museum has its doors open and offers a dive in the past. Last but not least, the Venetian castle of St. Nicolas, the windmills and of course the traditional knitting factory where one can buy one-of-a-kind souvenirs, are definitely places that should not be missing from the vacation-itinerary.
