Oia

Pronounced "E-Ya". Oia is a must see in Santorini. It is the most picturesque town in Santorini. The houses here are typically white with blue roofs. This is because during the Ottoman rule, the Greeks were not allowed to fly their flag and they painted their houses this way to symbolize the Greek flag.  


We spent our time walking around this beautiful town taking lots of pictures.













The views here are  found in many postcards
