The world's most beautiful sunset that you must see once in your life.

"Oia, the Romantic Pearl of Santorini" Oia, a dreamy village located on the Greek island of Santorini, is like a dazzling pearl, exuding intoxicating charm. Are you ready to start an unforgettable journey? I. Preparations 1. Best time to travel: The peak tourist season in Santorini is from May to October, with warm weather and plenty of sunshine. If you want to avoid the crowd, you can choose to travel in the off-season in May or October. 2. Visa and currency: Chinese tourists need to apply for a Schengen visa to go. The local currency is the euro. You can bring a small amount of cash for small expenses, and most places also accept credit cards. 3. Language: The official language is Greek, but most tourism practitioners speak English, so there is no need to worry about communication. II. How to get to Oia 1. From China to Santorini: There are no direct flights to Santorini in China, and you need to transfer to Santorini Airport in Athens or other European cities. 2. From Santorini Airport to Oia: - Taxi: about 30 minutes by car, cost 30-40 euros. - Public bus: Take the bus to Fira first, and then transfer to Oia. The total cost is about 3-5 euros. 3. From Santorini Port to Oia: You can choose a similar transportation method to departure from the airport, and the journey and cost are similar. III. Must-visit attractions and activities 1. Oia Sunset: Enjoy the amazing sunset at the ruins of Oia Castle, Amoudi Bay or the high point of Oia Main Street. 2. Blue Dome Church: The iconic attraction of Oia, located near the main square, is a great place to take classic Santorini photos. 3. Amoudi Bay: You can walk downhill from Oia, where there are small restaurants offering fresh seafood, and you can also go on island hopping or sea activities. 4. Walking tour of Oia: Shuttle through narrow alleys, admire white houses, art galleries and boutiques, and enjoy Greek coffee or local wine in street cafes. IV. Practical tips The alleys of Oia are narrow and have many steps. Walking or renting an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) is a good choice to explore the surrounding area. V. Itinerary suggestion Three days and two nights, fully experience the romantic style of Oia. Day 1: After arriving in Oia, take a walk to explore the village, visit the Blue Dome Church, watch the sunset at Oia Castle in the evening and have dinner. Day 2: Visit Oia Castle again in the morning, go to Amoudi Bay in the afternoon, experience sea activities or taste seafood dinner. Day 3: After breakfast, visit local art galleries and boutiques, then go to a nearby winery to taste wine, and return to the main island of Santorini or the airport in the afternoon. Come to Oia and feel the romantic atmosphere and charming scenery!
