Imerovigli has the best overall views of the sunset and caldera. Oia has lots of excellent shops, hotels, restaurants, cafes and galleries and depending on which hotel you choose it can still be very quiet there. Prices may be higher in some locations but there are still bargains to be found.
Is it worth staying at Oia?
Oia is picture-perfect. ... Depending on where you stay in Oia, you will also likely get stunning views. Not all hotels in Oia offer sunset views, so if that's what you are after make sure to do your homework. However, I stayed in a cave hotel with a view of the sea and the Caldera and it was gorgeous and relaxing.Apr 28, 2021
How many days do you need in Oia?
Whereas some islands have a similar feel, like Mykonos and Paros, Santorini is one of a kind and is sure to leave a lasting impression. If you just want to see the views, take an evening catamaran cruise, and wander the streets of Fira and Oia, 2 days will be plenty.Jun 18, 2020
Is it better to stay in Oia or Fira in Santorini?
Oia is the more luxurious village with romantic restaurants and high-end shopping. Both Oia and Fira have some great places to eat (and some average ones), but I would give a slight edge to Oia for the quality of restaurants. Oia has more fine dining restaurants, while Fira has more casual restaurants.Apr 15, 2020
