Where is the best view in Oia?

Probably the most famous view in the whole Santorini: cliff at Amoudi Bay with the iconic mill. It's worth coming here for the sunset to take that postcard photo of orange light reflecting in the white houses of Oia. Just make sure to come early to get a good spot.

Personally, I think you definitely need to visit Oia if you're in Santorini, but the larger question is whether that's where you stay. Oia has a LOT going for it… sitting on the edge of an extinct volcano, the town's many cliffside buildings all offer gorgeous views of the deep-blue ocean.

Both Imerovigli and Oia have some views towards the west, but I think most will agree that the actual sunset from Imerovigli is a little better than Oia. It sits higher on the caldera, is directly facing west, and has unobstructed views. You can also have a view of Skaro Rock and Oia in the distance which is magical.
