AMAZING OIA SUNSETS
by LoriPori
The village of Oia is dramatic, striking and also much calmer than tourist-frenzied Fira. Oia is famous for its AMAZING SUNSETS and its narrow passageways do get crowded in the evenings when folks descend upon the area to celebrate "Sundown". I have to admit, it was one of the most amazing Sunsets that I have ever seen. The bright oranges were spectacular and the outline of the sun going down over the distant mountains was superb.
As the village is situated on top of a cliff, spectacular views can be seen of the volcano of Nea Kameni and the Island of Thirassia.
Windmills
by ZiOOlek
Windmills are a part of Oia's landscape. There are not many of windmills but you will finally see them during your visit. The nicest looking windmill is at the end of the island where people observe sunset.
