OIA BY NIGHT
OIA, SANTORINI
Image Number 478 & 479
Oia is a picture perfect village in the north west edge of the Santorini island. It extends for 2 kilometres along the edge of the caldera that forms the island. It is built on the steep slope of the caldera and the houses and restaurants are built into niches carved into the cliff on the seaward side. Oia is an idyllic complex of white washed blue domed churches and charming, traditional Cycladic houses and cave houses. It offers excellent views of the sunset over the caldera. In summer over 120,000 visitors from cruise ships visit Oia every day and the tiny main street literally becomes impassable. Oia no longer has a local population - almost all houses have been converted to pensions.
