Oia

Oia is built along the cliff, with white-walled, blue-domed houses and churches layered along the inner cliffs of the caldera. The sunset is an iconic view here. Every evening, tourists follow the main path to the western end of the town, where there are two main viewing spots: one is the seaside platform next to the castle ruins, where the remaining stone tower walls hang over the cliff edge, offering a wide view; the other is the small square below the windmills, where several traditional windmills stand out in silhouette against the sunset. The town is also worth exploring slowly during the day. Walking along the cliff path through the narrow white alleys, you will pass several blue-domed churches, including the three connected blue domes that are a common sight on postcards. Several old-fashioned windmills stand at the northern end of the town, which is another iconic view.
