This wonderful coastal town is the most popular destination in Santorini. Its stunning sunset, the white-washed houses, the blue domes, and the picturesque spots are just some of the reasons Oia is a must-see. It's also known for its glamorous restaurants, some of which even offer spectacular vistas of the sunset and the island.
Descend the steps from Oia to the charming port of Ammoudi Bay. Surrounded by striking red cliffs and dotted with white-washed buildings, this little village features quaint tavernas serving up the catch of the day. Visitors can also enjoy swimming here and cliff diving, though the beach is rocky so bring appropriate footwear.
This 6-mile hike is one of the best ways to take in Santorini and passes through the four most popular settlements (Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, Oia). In addition to stunning ocean views and picturesque towns, there are spectacular views of Skaros Rock and the blue-domed St. Gerasimos Church. Once you hit Oia, you'll find Byzantine castle ruins open for exploration. There is no marked trail or pathway for this hike so follow the roads closest to the caldera.

Discovered in 1967, this prehistoric settlement dates back to 1500 B.C.

Fun fact, Santorini is the leading contender for the site of the lost city of Atlantis.
