From wikipedia: Oia remains one of the foremost tourist attractions of the Aegean Sea. The famous Oia sunset, considered by many as one of the most beautiful in the world, keeps tourists flocking down to the castle, waiting for the moment when the sun slips down on the calm sea of the caldera. Tourists are often told that the fishing docks at Oia are the oldest continually used docks in the world, supposedly being in service for 3000 years. While an interesting bit of tourist trivia, no evidence is supplied to validate the claim.
SUNSET AT OIA
In the evening hordes of people arrive simply to watch its sunset.
Every available seat, wall, step or patch of ground is occupied and
picnicking while watching the sunset is almost de rigueur.
A common method for enjoying the sunset is to take one of the boat charters from the docks at Thira. After visiting the volcano in the middle of the caldera, the boat will visit the opposite island for a time before heading out a mile or so from the island. At sunset the boat will sail in a figure 8 until the sun goes below the horizon, providing a long view of the setting sun and ample photographic opportunities.

the people that live up there must have good legs to climb up and down up and down all the time. Always wanted to go there I did read it was very bad air quality in Greece but I don't know it always looks nice in the photos as it does in this one .
