Oia
Built on layers of red ash which created by the explosion of
the Volcano, Oia abstains from Fira about 12 kilometers. Her
current name, was given during the decade '30 from the Venetian
conquerors. it was used to call "Pano Meria".
It often is reported as “the
Captains' village” because of its powerful naval force during the
18th and 19th century. The
residents used to be over 13.000! The local salesmen exported their
well-known wine in Romania, Russia and Egypt.
The view of Oia lying on the rocks,
above the bight "Armeni" and the small port Ammoydi, are the first
to see from the ship,
while entering in to the port. The colorful houses, welcome all the
visitors.
When first visited, you feel splitted between the volcanic rocks and
the vines lyed to the northern of the sea. All around, there is the
sense of fairy world...
