Oia Holidays Resort Guide

Oia holidays are famed for what is arguably the most incredible sunset in the world and because of this Oia is a very desirable holiday location. Situated on the very northwestern tip of the island of Santorini, Oia is in the ideal place to see the famous Santorini sunset. The humidity around the island of Santorini creates a very hazy sky over the Aegean Sea, and when combined with the setting of the sun the effects are so stunning that people from around the world choose to spend their summer holidays in Oia. Both locals and tourists tend to gather on the cliffs of Oia, looking out to sea. At the end of the day, the sunset can be extremely popular so it is advisable to go early to reserve a nice spot – but that’s not to say you aren’t treated to a fantastic sunset elsewhere with an Oia holiday. In fact, the whole island of Santorini enjoys the sunset, but Oia is definitely the best place to see it! And if you really want to push the boat out with your holidays in Oia, why not take the sunset cruise? You’ll sail out into the Aegean Sea and get the best view possible of the sunset. Definitely something to consider if you are thinking about going on one of our Package Holidays to Santorini.
