Highlights
- Dazzling white houses with blue domes
- Romantic sunset views from Oia Castle
- The Naval Maritime Museum is filled with the area’s rich history
Oia is a coastal town on the northwestern tip of Santorini, Greece. The town is known for its dazzling whitewashed houses carved into the rugged clifftops, and overlooks a vast caldera filled with water.
Worth visiting is the Naval Maritime Museum. Housed in a 19th-century mansion, it has exhibits on local seafaring history, including old figureheads, sailors’ chests, and models of old ships. Nearby is the ruined Oia Castle, known for its sunset views.
