From the regional World / Areas
Oia, Santorini
Oia follows Santorini's northern caldera rim, with narrow lanes, cave houses and sea views. Its steep setting rewards walking but makes the harbor descent a separate effort.
Santorini / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Santorini with our travel partners.
Walk the rim to see how houses fit into the volcanic slope, then look for the larger captains' houses that recall Oia's shipping wealth. The view opens toward Therasia and the volcanic islets; below the town, Ammoudi and Armeni show its connection to the sea.
What to look for
Cave houses cut into the caldera-facing slope
Larger captains' houses on the upper part of the village
Views across the caldera toward Therasia and the volcanic islets
Useful to know
Allow time for slow movement through narrow lanes, especially if you plan to pause at viewpoints.
Treat the steep steps to Ammoudi or Armeni as an additional walk, with a climb back to town.
