The old village of Oia located at the northern tip of Santorini and boasts some of the most magnificent views on Santorini and a highly picturesque aspect, with cliffs on one side and the sea on the other. The square overlooks the sea and visitors are able to observe fantastic sunsets, many visitors specifically make the trip to Oia just to watch the sun sink into the Aegean. Fantastic, fabulous Santorini deserves all the superlatives. Even the most jaded traveler is liable to succumb to the awesome drama of this surreal landscape, a relic of what was probably the biggest eruption in recorded history. The caldera and its vast curtain wall of multi-coloured cliffs are truly awesome. It's worth to experience the full dramatic impact by arriving in a slower ferry with open deck.
