The place is definitely worth visiting keeping in mind that the two main areas Fira & Oya are on the hilltop. You need to be in good health. If you are not into climbing steep stairs then Kamari beach area is Fantastic for food and walk along the sea a Pramonade.

Foinikia is mainly pedestrianised, there are lots of steps and uneven paths making it challenging for those with mobility issues. The fact that the village is a 10 minute walk from the main route to Oia makes it a great place to stay. It’s a 50 minute walk to the sunset fort location, but the sunset is visible from pretty much everywhere in the area. The shops are well stocked. The restaurants are fairly priced. Meze Meze is a beautiful restaurant with great views and well worth the steps up to it. The public parking areas are busy but we always managed to find a spot. Travel around the island takes longer than you would expect as the roads are narrow and there are some terrifyingly steep hills to negotiate. Many hire ATVs but I was glad we had a car, the air con was our saviour in the heat and a safe place to store luggage on the final day.

Very close to Oia. Recommended for those who have a car. Amazing service from the receptionist through the staff at the bar and the cleanliness. The only thing is that you can't go into the pool in the evening, even though it's a small hotel, by the way, it's not suitable for children.

Domaine Sigalas winery is less than a 10-minute stroll away. We enjoyed our wine tasting there, overlooking the vineyards. You can walk up a path from near the house to the centre of Finikia (with narrow walkways through white houses, some cave houses and no cars) where you will find good restaurants with views. Our favourite "Krinaki" was recommended by our hosts. Not the best photo but it gives you the feel. Thankyou to Yiannis for looking after us there.

A very beautiful place just 10 minutes walk from the busy streets of Oia. A perfect place to stay to have a quiet break with amazing views. There are soke beautiful restaurants and a store and historic paths to walk around. An easy walk to the stunning Oia Town.
