Oia Holidays

A scenic Santorini resort

The picturesque village of Oia perches prettily on the northern edge of the Greek island Santorini. The views it commands, of the glittering azure Aegean Sea, and over the island’s vast volcanic caldera, are unbeatable, especially at sunset when the sky transforms into a spectacular canvas of purple and pink.

But Oia holidays aren’t just remarkable because of the astonishing natural setting. The gleaming, whitewashed buildings and vividly blue-domed churches that seem to cascade from hilltop to cliff edge are a photographer’s dream – they look utterly sublime from every angle. And down in among the narrow streets, Oia’s galleries, bookshops and bars invite you to linger, indulge and explore. Cliffside steps will take you down to a selection of pebbled beaches, perfect for waterside strolls. Between its captivating scenery and cultural charm, holidays to Oia might just make you believe in love at first sight.
