Diamond Luxury Suites Collection is in Oia, the well-known settlement on the north-western tip of Santorini, above the caldera. It is a village of white houses, churches with blue domes, marble-paved lanes and homes carved into the rock, suited to you if you want peace, photographs and sunsets and don't mind doing a lot of walking.
In the centre of the settlement, 50 m from the property, is the Naval Maritime Museum of Oia, which tells the story of the village's sea captains. Oia Castle, 170 m away, stands at the edge of the settlement and is where visitors gather in the evening to watch the sunset. Below the village lies Ammoudi, a small fishing village with tavernas by the water, reached by a long staircase. Santorini International Airport is 10 km away, and Fira's Central Bus Station is 7 km away.
For a day by the sea, Katharos Beach is 750 m away, while Ammoudi and Baxedes offer swimming among rocks and pebbles. The best time to visit is from May to October, although the lanes are crowded in July and August, especially around sunset. In September, the sea is still warm and the village is quieter. For better light and fewer people, try walking around early in the morning, when the lanes are empty and the shops are just opening. A good plan for the day is a morning walk around the village followed by an afternoon swim at Katharos.
