About Oia Castle (Agios Nikolaos)
The remains of the Agios Nikolaos castle stand at the far end of the Oia main lane, looking west over the caldera and Thirasia. It is the most crowded sunset spot in Santorini; arriving well before sunset, or watching from the lanes slightly further back, makes for a calmer view.
