History
Oia and Ammoudi sit on the caldera rim formed by Santorini’s massive Minoan-era eruption; the town was largely rebuilt after the 1956 earthquake and retains classic Cycladic architecture.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain narrow paths and local resources; stick to marked routes, avoid sitting on fragile walls and support family-run tavernas to keep economic benefits local.
