Description Cycladic Charm: Oia

This home might be situated on one of the most popular pedestrian roads in all of Oia, but it's a real sanctuary away from the tourist crowds. With stunning views across the Aegean Sea and striking Cycladic architecture, you're sure to settle into island life in no time at all.

From the traditional tiles to the turquoise blue shutters, this home has plenty of charm. The soothing interior is the perfect place to find some respite from the heat – throw open the windows and let the breeze float through the house. The outdoor space is just as perfect – take a luxurious soak in the hot tub as you watch the sun sink below the horizon, before enjoying a glass of wine under the stars.

The winding streets of Oia are yours to explore, and you'll love getting lost among the boutiques, tiny Orthodox churches, and white-washed houses. When hunger strikes, head to one of the local tavernas and dine on fresh seafood, caught just off the coast, and delicious Greek salad. And, if you fancy a dip in the sea, then take the quick drive to Katharos – this little cove is just outside the town.
