Feast of Hypapante at Oia

It is a small beach with deep blue water, located a few meters to the south of Ammoudi beach. It can be accessed by boat (from Ammoudi) or through 286 steps which begin at the marble street of Oia village.

From the beaches at the North East part of Santorini, Kouloumbo (or Columbo) is the greatest. It is a long sandy beach of unique beauty nestled next to a cliff and the last one in Santorini that is not organised at all.

The Mpaxedes, called Paradise Beach is entirely north of the island, 3 km NE of Oia. It starts about 1 km after the Pori (direction north), is black in color and extends about 5 km almost to the Cape Mavropetra.

Another amazing beach on the East side of Santorini where the rocks have that unique red colour (like the ones in red beach). Recently a small fishing boats harbor was created and of course there is a traditional greek tavern with fresh fish.

It is a reasonably shelter from the meltemi but there is almost always some swell. There is a small pier with about 6 m depth but it usually crowded with fishing boats.

Skala Thíra or Skala Fira is the main harbor and where the cruise ships call. It is not really a harbor but a quay.

Oia is the most famous village of Santorini, a traditional village with small houses, narrow streets and blue domed churches. In Oia visitors can find many tavernas, cafes and tourist shops.

The Santorini Nautical Museum is located in the town of Oia. It was founded in 1956 and it is housed in a mansion since 1990.

The Museum of Ancient, Byzantine and post-Byzantine Musical Instruments are housed in the old Community building of Oia in Santorini. The interesting collection of Mr Halaris, a famous musician, includes musical instruments that date from 2,800 B.
