Oia Holidays

The exquisite village of Oia pronounced ‘Ia’, is renowned for its tranquillity and spectacular sunsets from its amazing vantage point atop an impressive cliff in Santorini’s northwest. Oia is a popular choice of location for premier holidays in Santorini. It offers unparalleled views of the caldera, beautiful blue domed churches, luxurious boutique hotels and dazzlingly white Cycladic buildings, punctuated by traditional blue shutters and pretty bougainvillea and oleander.

An array of stylish bars and cafes, excellent restaurants and shops line the narrow pedestrianised cliff top walkway, and together with a maritime museum and the remains of an old Venetian fortress, the area is popular with artists and boasts several galleries. Set below the village is the small port of Ammoudia, reached by some 300 steps, where boats leave regularly for the island of Thirassia. This exceptionally beautiful cliff-top village is a truly magical location for Santorini holidays.
