Oia:one of the foremost tourist attractions of the Aegean Sea.
Oia is absolutely lovely with its white houses facing the deep blue Aegean Sea.
This is a photo of its medieval fortifications that used to protect the town from the pirates. Usually -on a daily basis, actually- tourists come here to watch the sunset, considered by many one of the most beautiful in the world.
The cliffs also offer astonishing views...
If you want to go downstairs, it's better by donkey. Besides, it's more picturesque. ;-)
The town has a lot to offer like the many traditional shops where we can find interesting crafts and fine local products, like necklaces, earrings and bracelets in black lava stones. I bought some pieces for me and to offer to my family. They are not expensive, especially considering that they are handmade products. I also bought a pair of leather sandals for only 24 euro!!
Finally, the view from the restaurant where we enjoyed our lunch.
Just a final remark: we were advised to take our walk in the town during the morning due to the heat, which, indeed, revealed itself to be a very wise tip from our car rental agent in Kamari. ;-)

Is anywhere in the world lovelier? So many years since I was there, but the memories ...
:-) So nice to hear that, Jo :-) I'm glad this post has brought you so sweet memories :-) Have a lovely day, dear Jo! :-)
Foi tão bom reviver esta ilha onde passei bons momentos.
Beijinho, Sandra e obrigada!:)
Ana, Oia e, de facto, muito bonita, e de todas as localidades da ilha, foi aquela que mais gostamos.
Neste momento, ate e relativamente acessivel fazer umas ferias em Santorini. Os custos desceram muito, infelizmente devido a crise...
Bjs! :-)
Boa noite Sandra
Um dos meus sonhos!!! Conecer algumas ilhas gregas e em especial a de Santorini que eu acho um colírio para os olhos e uma lavagem para a alma!!!
Muito gosto em voltar ao seu blog.
