Pronounced "Eee-ah," Oia is nestled high atop the cliffs of Santorini's northern terminus, offering stunning views of neighboring volcanoes and renowned for its tranquil beauty and mesmerizing sunsets. Wander through narrow, cobblestone lanes adorned with brilliantly whitewashed buildings, quaint shops, sunlit cafés, and iconic, blue-domed churches. The serene landscape of Oia has inspired artists worldwide, and you'll have the opportunity to explore galleries, shop for souvenirs, savor refreshments, and revel in the magnificent vistas.
Next, visit the village of Thíra, Santorini's capital, known for its captivating blend of Cycladic and Venetian architecture. Explore the vibrant main square, bustling with colorful activity and offering access to an array of shops, jewelry boutiques, and traditional tavernas. You may opt to linger in town for independent sightseeing, shopping, or a visit to the Prehistoric Museum to discover Santorini's rich archaeological heritage.
As your day draws to a close, return to Athinios port to tender back to the ship.
