Oia is a former community on the islands of Thira (Santorini) and Therasia, in the Cyclades, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Santorini, of which it is a municipal unit. It covers the whole island Therasia and the northwesternmost part of Santorini, which it shares with the municipal unit of Santorini. The population was 1,230 inhabitants at the 2001 census, and the land area is 19.449 square kilometer. The population and land area are distributed as follows: 962 persons on 10.150 square kilometer in Santorini, and 268 persons on 9.299 square kilometer in Therasia. 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.
