Santorini Locations Oia or Ia

Oia or Ia is situated on the north of the island, 11 km away from Fira.
The most beautiful village of Santorini no matter what.Millions of visitors come every year just to watch the unique sunset(they even clap their hands when the sun is gone)...
The village before the big earthquake on 1956 had a few industrial facilities where the locals worked.The population was much higher all year long compared to nowadays.But the damages where too big and the owners did not repair the facilities and left the island.That was a time when Santorini was not discovered yet as a cosmopolitan island and a Must.
Today the top hotels are placed here and many celebrities and very wealthy people stay in Oia for their holidays.
