Description
Perched on the cliff tops, the village of Oia surprises us with its typical white houses, narrow alleyways, terraces decorated with flowers, and traditional shops. The morning ends with a visit to picturesque Fira, the island's capital: a treat for the eyes and the soul.

Oia village
Fira
What we will do
We will
travel by motor boat to the port of Athinios, where a waiting coach will
take us to the northern end of the island to visit the spellbinding town
of Oia.
En route, we will admire
the breath-taking landscapes of the caldera, the volcanic
crater now submerged by the sea, surrounded by the high cliffs of
Santorini.
Our guide will be
waiting in Oia to show us the village's most interesting
sights. Upon arrival in Oia We will venture into the
wonderful marble-paved alleyways that wind up and down, lined with the
typical ochre-coloured houses with blue domed roofs that characterise the
island. The village surprises us with its peerless panoramic views of the
neighbouring islands of Folegandros and Sikinos, as well as the now
extinct volcano. After browsing the shops,
where we're sure to find something original, we will set off again, this
time for Fira.
We will
stroll through the island's capital, its narrow streets lined with typical
white houses, and, after admiring the stunning panoramic views, we will
take an unusual form of transport back to the port: a cable car!
