Oia

Oia (Greek: Οία, sometimes spelled Ia, pronounced EE-ah) is what most people picture in their head when they think of Santorini, and even the Greek islands in general: steep volcanic cliffs with picturesque white houses, churches with deep blue roofs, and iconic windmills that appear lost in time. It is the northernmost town on Thira, the main island in the Santorini archipelago, about 200 km south of the Greek mainland. Oia's narrow streets scattered with arts and gift shops draw over 2 million tourists every year.

    Fira - Oia Hike

    By far the most spectacular hike on Thira is the 11 km trail along the crater rim to Fira. It offers some breathtaking views over the caldera, and the other islands of the archipelago. At a moderate walking pace, the hike takes about 3 hours. The trail starts at Amoudi Bay and follows the rim east through town. It is well-marked; you'll see a few "To Fira" signs as you leave town. Going from Fira to Oia is more uphill, with a climb of over 300 m, so this direction is considered a bit easier.
