    Beautiful bay which can be accessed by stairs from Oía or via a vehicle. We drove there but parked a bit on the top as the signs said no cars beyond it but when we walked down, there were loads of cars so looks like that sign is just for busy times. The bay has loads of restaurants with fresh sea food and boat tours go from here too. Avoid using...

    We walked down the steps from Oia for lunch at the fish tavern. Well worth it but think twice if you have bad knees as 300 steps begins to burn.
