Perched on Santorini's northern tip, the village of Oia curves back towards the island’s crop of cliff-hugging whitewashed towns, promising mesmerising views of the rocks and the glittering Aegean Sea. The arc of the island’s volcanic caldera is unmissable, seen from many of the balconies, infinity pools and gourmet eateries of the best places to stay in Oia. Tranquil and laid-back, this is a lovely destination for honeymooners, families and groups of friends alike.
Carved into the steep slope of the caldera’s cliffs, Oia is a fascinating little town of white-painted houses cut into ancient caves. The town has been gradually transformed into an upmarket destination, with boutiques, cafés and tavernas aplenty lining its narrow streets. Delve into its rich history at the Maritime Museum, or with a guided walking tour.
Hire a scooter to zip around town and along clifftop roads, or follow the walking path towards Fira for dramatic sunsets and beautiful vistas at every turn. Descend the 300 steps to Ammoudi Bay past the red cliffs and down to the beaches of the craggy coastline. Once you’re there, sailing trips come highly recommended — this is a very special way to see Santorini and the Cyclades. Alternatively, hide out at one of the best places to stay in Oia, sinking into your plunge pool and feasting on cracking Greek cuisine with loved ones.
