Top Things to do in Oia
Things to do in Oia, South Aegean: The Best Museums
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.

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.

Amazing store with wonderful people and adorable stuff. I never saw such different and atmospheric place like this store! All dolls are handmade by the owner of the store. Colorful, fantastic shop looks like a small museum of marionettes. A lot of unique authentic jewellery in Byzantine style by greek designers: crosses, earrings and many many other interesting things. The shop has also some antiques. It's one of the oldest buildings in the village which looks in traditional style. It was nice experience to see that place and I hope to visit it again!
