The view of Oia at sunset is very well known. However, the sunset itself can also be experienced from the countless restaurants on the entire rim of the crater. And the sunset is not equally beautiful every day. So you don't always have to go there. But very crowded.

Hiking

From the Byzantine Castle, you can take photographs of Oia as seen on many postcards. It's a classic. You can also take a great panoramic view of the caldera. A must see for the photo opportunities.
