Taking a closer look to Oia, its history goes all the way back to Venetian rule. However, there have also been several reports about it even before it. Since the 16th century the name used for it was Apanomeria, while the name “Castelli San Nicholas’’ was also used by Jean de Thevenot in the mid-17th century. From the 19th century it gained the name that remains even today, while it started flourishing mostly due to seaborne trading throughout the whole Mediterranean Sea. This economic rise, gave the chance to the captains of Oia to build magnificent mansions right on the cliff. The most challenging part while building them was the procedure of moving all the required materials on this rough ground. While there, except for those fancy neoclassic mansions you will also notice some cave houses; they were used by the crew of the ships and they were built directly into niches. Altogether, the best part of those houses is how they blend together with the small narrow streets and the blue roofed churches. The result is amazing and you will lose the track of time very easily as you will feel like taking a walk straight into a different era.
