A Trip To Oia

A bus trip to Oia, a beautiful village that is a must on any trip to Santorini. This village was destroyed by an earthquake in the 50's and was left for decades, abandoned, until a number of years ago when it was revived. Here beautiful white wash walls are a back drop to the blue highlights of the churches, sea and sky. This island is not for those who have trouble walking or in a wheelchair. due to lots of steps and hills. Most of the crowd here seems quite young. I think that at a certain age, the elderly realize they can no longer handle the stairs and walking up hill and move on o the flatter lands. Plan on about 1/2 a day here. Bring lots of water. The scene from Summer Lovers, the movie, where the lovers were jumping off the cliff into the sea is filmed here. A steep climb down to the ocean though from this village. Too much sun left me napping in the afternoon and in the evening took a lovely walk through town to the far and of Fira to watch the sunset. I must have taken 100 photos on the way.
