Oia is a picture perfect village in the north west edge of the Santorini island. Oia is an idyllic complex of white washed blue domed churches and charming, traditional Cycladic houses and cave houses.  In summer over 120,000 visitors from cruise ships visit Oia every day and the tiny main street literally becomes impassable.  This view of the "three blue domes" is a key destination and features in most guide books.  The ideal time of day is sunset.
