JMHamburg Posted July 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) The world famous chapels are located in Oia: Santorini Oia Agia Spyridon Agia Anastasi · 16jun2016 1142EEST (Oia) You can get to the chapels through narrow alleys east and west of them from the main pedestrian road in Oia, just follow the masses of tourists. Together with the as well world famous sunset spot: Santorini Oia Panorama Sunset · 30may2017 2018EEST (Oia) There are some other chapels with blue domes in Oia, and some bell towers. The main town on Santorini island Fira is not sooo spectacular, but about 2kms north, you can walk along the scenic caldera, there is the village of Imerovigli. The following spot is on top of the cliffs, you can get to it through a narrow alley and down some stairs around the corner: Santorini Imerovigli Panorama Caldera · 01jun2017 1028EEST (Imerovigli) Santorini, this is my Greek dream in blue and white !

John Bull Posted July 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Shown here on this googlemap. https://goo.gl/maps/ma1BvJZcAfE2 (Condutto Residences is merely the nearest reference on googlemap) No "street-views" available, but hover the little yellow guy over the nearest photos, like this one https://goo.gl/maps/BvSyTncoXHx JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishman620 Posted July 9, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 9, 2018 We were interested in a NCL excursion called Ancient Akrotiri & wine tasting but I don't think it goes to Oia, just Fira.......so I guess we won't be taking that excursion...

JMHamburg Posted July 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2018 No "street-views" available The Google Photo Spheres are very nice, but unfortunately, the vast majority of them are no freely accessible points in Oia, but private property, like hotels and restaurants for example. For good photos, in the morning, this eastern spot is freely accessible, in the afternoon, this western sport is more suitable. The eastern spot is actually some stairs down from the Photo Sphere, you have posted ... We were interested in a NCL excursion called Ancient Akrotiri & wine tasting but I don't think it goes to Oia, just Fira.......so I guess we won't be taking that excursion... Yes, Akrotiri and the main wineries are situated in the opposite direction ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
