Oia is a scenic village on the north west edge of the Santorini island within the Cyclades. It extends for almost along the northern edge of the caldera that forms the island of Santorini, at a height of between above sea level. Immediately to the east is Phinikia (Φοινικιά; Finikia), and about to the north is Tholos (Θόλος). Amoudi Bay lies below the town. The small fishing village of Ormos Armeni (Όρμος Αρμένης) lies below Oia to the south and is reached via steps. There is a ferry connection to Therasia from the harbour village of Ormos Ammoudi (Όρμος Αμμουδιού; also spelled Amoudi) to the west. There are 300 steps down to the port from Oia. The small island of Agios Nikolaos lies to the southwest.
