Castle of Oia — Attraction in Municipality of Thira

Well, it's Santorini or Thera as Greeks call it. Small island with 2 cities and lots of sightseeing points. I definitely suggest to avoid go there with travel agency, use local buses instead to get to Heraklions port and buy tickets in advance for the speed ship.

A very nice and quaint place...must visit for everyone. Lots of options to check out the scenic beauty of the island and have great time with friends or family or even all by yourself... visit to this particular spot during the evening Wil give opportunity for watching sunset from almost entire length alongside the sea.. Overall, the entire Santorini island is painted white and blue and the only different colour you get to see is green and brown of the vineyards.. A very beautiful and serene place...we got a chance to do day tour with our guide Katie who took us around the island and highlighted all important aspects one should know about the island ranging from akrotiri to wine museum to oia (read e-aa) to all the right spots for...
