Oia is a clifftop village on the northern tip of Santorini, renowned for its whitewashed cubic houses and blue-domed churches cascading over the volcanic caldera rim. The settlement's western-facing terraces offer what is widely regarded as among the most celebrated sunset views in the Mediterranean. Narrow pedestrian lanes wind past art galleries and boutiques carved into the volcanic rock face.
