Description

1.OIA

Head first to the northwest part of the island and live the best experience of Oia. Unique in every way with iconic blue domed churches and scenic pathways. One of the most photographed places in Greece, Oia is located on the top of an impressive cliff and offers a spectacular view over the volcano and the Aegean sea. The famous Venetian Castle is a major landmark of the village. Also known as the Castle of St Nikolas, the 15th-century castle was constructed during the Venetian occupation.

2.MEGALOXORI

Megaloxori is one of the most quaint villages of the island with typical and classical Cycladic houses dug into the volcanic rock. The scenery includes white washed tower bells, underground caves and churches with blue domes. Wander through the narrow pathways of this non touristy settlement, enjoy your Greek coffee at the pebble stone square and get involved with local lifestyle & culture.

3.EMPORIO

In the centre of Emporio, is the best preserved castle of the island. It was built around 1450 and was the most "commercial" of all the castles, as the market of the island operated there, with the largest traffic of products. Hence the name. Walking through Kastelli, in the narrow streets with the houses stuck to each other, the small doors and even smaller windows, painted in soft earthy colors, is a favorite habit. The castle, as well as almost all the houses in the area, are inhabited.
