Sunset in Santorini
Oia or (Ia), village on the Greek island of Santorini, is highly regarded as the location of one of the world’s great
sunsets. Oia is located, on the northern tip of the crescent-shaped island. Perched on top of sheer cliffs about 300 metres above the tranquil Aegean Sea, Oia is a maze of narrow lanes and steep stairways. With its white-washed buildings and many tiny churches, resplendent with shining blue domes, it as if you’re walking through a postcard. Which is not that surprising given so many Greek postcards and tourism books feature this very scene.
