What you'll see
A village of white cave houses, blue domes and old windmills spilling down the cliff at the island's northern tip, with steps down to the little harbour of Ammoudi.
A brief history
Oia grew rich on sea captains in the 1800s; many of the grander houses were theirs, and the cave houses were dug for sailors.
