Oia is the most romantic and magical place you would probably see in your whole life and the best hotels in Oia are all offering incredible service (at a hefty price though).
Every sunset in Oia is a big gathering of people who want to watch it from balconies, terraces and the white washed cute houses. It’s a definitely show that might be happening on your doorstep!
Oia is an almost unreal , quiet and unique place but you should know it’s not the place for partying and clubbing.
If you just want a glass of wine and a nice dinner then Oia is your place. But if you want more shops, bars, clubs and nightlife then Fira is your place to go!
I personally love Oia so much that I could probably spend my whole life there…

CONCLUSION
If you are planning to stay in any of these amazing hotels in Oia make sure that you book very well in advance. My favourite website for booking hotels in Imerovigli is Booking.com and it’s the one that is being used widely all over Greece (by Greeks as well). The good thing about it is that you can basically cancel your booking and you don’t pay anything in advance. oil is an amazing place with possibly one of the most incredible sunsets in the world. Some greeks argue that other greek islands have an equally beautiful sunset but there are many good reasons why Oia’s sunset is considered the best. You don’t get to see the sun setting in the sea behind an active volcano every day. Make no mistake; Oia is one of the most amazing places you would have ever visited in your life.
