聖托里尼島 (Santorini Island) 位於愛琴海,  

是3000 多年前由於火山爆發而形成的島嶼,

它以奇特的地理造形及獨特的優雅建築而聞名於世,

每年吸引全世界成千上萬的旅客前往.

有些旅人甚至把它列為一生中必訪的景點.

旅客最常造訪的城鎮為費拉(Fira)

及依亞(Oia,按照希臘文字~ O 不發音).

當公主號遊輪(Princess) 抵達聖托里尼島,

接駁船將我們送到(遊輪專用)碼頭.

首都費拉 (Fira)~位於260公尺高的懸崖峭壁上,

有兩種交通工具可抵達:

1.騎毛驢 走山路上去   2. 搭乘纜車

   ~~我們選擇搭纜車~~

 考量到遊輪只停留一天的時間~~

 所以我們到達費拉時,就先搭Blue Star公車

 去依亞遊覽~ 約半天時間,

 再搭Blue Star公車,返回費拉繼續後半天的行程.

 依亞(Oia) 位於聖托里尼島的北端~ 以如畫的建築,

 鵝卵石巷弄,潔白的房屋及面臨愛琴海的咖啡屋,藝品店,

 畫廊 還有藍頂教堂..而聞名!

Reference:

Oia, pronounced Ia, is the most famous of all villages of Santorini.

It is known throughout the world for its quiet life and fantastic sunset,

and is certainly the most beautiful and picturesque village of Santorini.

The village is also situated on top of an impressive cliff and offers a spectacular view

over the volcano of Palia and Nea Kameni and the island of Thirassia.

Oia is situated on the north of the island, 11 km away from Fira.

It is a traditional village with charming houses in narrow streets, blue domed churches, and sun-bathed verandas.

Its streets have plenty of tourist shops, taverns, cafes, and other shops.

Oia is much more quiet that Fira and the busiest area is the main pedestrian that runs along its length.

 
Oia has several cultural attractions like the Maritime Museum which houses a small library,

items from the maritime life of the area, and the vestiges of a Venetian fortress.

Many artists fell in love with the area and settled there.

For that reason, the village of Oia has many art galleries.
