It&#8217;s HIKE to get down there (and back up to the town center) but think of it as a way to work off all the calories you&#8217;re about to consume. You&#8217;ll notice the octopus hanging out to dry the second you walk in and that&#8217;s basically the best sign you could ask for. Sun dried octopus is a speciality and I loved every single bite. If you&#8217;re making the hike down to\u00a0Amoudi Bay, make sure you bring your suit and a towel so you can scale the rocks on the side of the bay and go jump in the ocean before or after lunch!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26805\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/GA9A6748.jpg\" alt=\"Gaby's Guide to Santorini from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/GA9A6748.jpg 870w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/GA9A6748-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/GA9A6748-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g482941-d4548072-Reviews-Ammoudi_Fish_Tavern-Oia_Santorini_Cyclades_South_Aegean.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ammoudi Fish Tavern<\/a>\u00a0is another restaurant down on the Bay that cannot be missed.

Get an Aperol Sprtiz or 4 and hang out above the crowds and watch the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>A few other tips and tricks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to go watch the sunset walk to the end of the path at the top of Oia a few hours before the sun is due to set and post up. Bring a bottle of wine and some snacks and just chill because it&#8217;s about to get CROWDED. But just wait it out, it&#8217;s worth it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s HOT in Santorini in the summer so here&#8217;s my rec. Wake up early, toodle around town from 6am &#8211; 9am and grab breakfast at a little cafe. By 9\/10am head back to your hotel and post up at the pool. Or head down to the Bay and go swim in the ocean. Oia gets very touristy in the middle of the day and the crowds can be kinda crazy. Then head back out later in the afternoon and get a drink \/ watch the sunset and grab dinner! It&#8217;s the perfect romantic getaway and I cannot wait to get back.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26804\"
