OIA

SANTORINI, GREECE

Image Number 483

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.

IOS HARBOUR

GREECE

Image Number 476 & 477

Ios is a Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. Ios is a hilly island with cliffs down to the sea on most sides, situated halfway between Naxos and Santorini. It is about 18 kilometres (11 miles) long and 10 kilometres (6 miles) wide. Population was 2,024 in 2011 (down from 3,500 in the 19th century).  The Port is at the head of the Ormos harbor in the northwest. From there a steep donkey path leads to the village of Chora - full of stairs and narrow paths that make it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Today, the main path through this village is completely taken over by tourism in terms of restaurants, boutiques, bars and discothèques. Apart from the port and the village of Chora, Ios has only a few small settlements.

WINDMILL

SANTORINI, GREECE

Image Numbers 471, 472 & 473

Traditional whitewashed windmills characterize the Greek islands and especially the Cyclades.  Some are kept in the traditional form and are not used today, while others have been renovated and work as hotels, cafeterias or art galleries. In the past, these windmills were of vital importance. Using the wind, which is so strong in Cyclades, people used to grind the wheat, the most important nutritional element that time. Most windmills were constructed in the 19th century and fell in disuse after the mid 20th century.  Many windmills retain their millstones and mechanisms.
