10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Oia That You Shouldn't Miss
Oia is carved out of the cliffs, and visitors can see houses built for Venetian sea captains as well as the more typical "cave houses" of the villagers. You’ll find the pure white buildings with colorful roofs that are typical of Greek architecture, and you’ll probably enjoy poking around the town. But don’t breeze through in an hour—you must stay for the sunset. It’s legendary. Watch from a café, or, better yet, from a boat—you’ll be spellbound.

Truly wonderful experience at caldera massage studio, I went with my husband for a sunset honeymoon package where we enjoyed the sunset from a private terrace with a bottle of champagne followed by a full body massage. Being a therapist myself I’m usually very critical but I was so impressed,staf were lovely, my massage was wonderful and I was also asked to choose my blend of oils which was a lovely touch. The room and the facilities were lovely and clean and relaxing also. One of the therapists also makes lovely hand made soaps which I purchased as a gift, I regret not purchasing more now as they smelt so good! If you are staying in Oia then I thoroughly recommend you visit this place for a lovely relaxing treatment, you won’t be disappointed.

Unique variety of fine art photography and jewelry, all astonishingly handmade by local artists. The gallery has a very harmonic atmosphere in an elegant cave house located only a few steps before the Castle and the famous sunset spot in Oia.

Small and kinda hidden shop just next to the famous Oia's castle, with great art gems. You can find rare, beautiful gold designs of jewellery and fine photography. Def a must visit for gallery lovers.

I frequent bookstores when I travel, and this unique venue did not disappoint! Descending the curved, carved staircase, you are greeted with a hobbit-hole type door, and the store opens up behind it. Strewn with books, and decorated with quotes on the furniture, walls and ceiling, you can find real gems! Books are one of my souvenirs from my travels, and Hemingways favorite book, James Joyce’s The Dead (as it was advertised in this store) was one of my takeaways from this charming stop on Santorini. Take your reading material of choice to the rooftop reading room for a relaxing view of the caldera and natural light to enjoy your read!

The window displays caught my eye, so I came in and wound up buying a beautiful set of rings made by a Greek artist. They had really unique pieces, and the gentleman that helped me was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
