Sunset Oia (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Sunset Oia?
Babies are allowed only if parents hold or carrier them, since no high chair, stroller room or changing table exists. Motion, loud music and heat can tire infants, so ask the operator before booking.
Positives:
- Stroller-friendly main road: The central cobbled street is wide and mostly flat until early evening.
- Quiet viewing spot at Amoudi Bay: The bay pier is calm, with level ground perfect for standing with a carrier.
Challenges:
- Steep stairs to bay: The ~300 steps make it impossible to use a stroller on the way down.
- Limited baby facilities: No public nursing or changing rooms; high chairs only by advance request.

Probably the best excursion I have ever done on a trip. You board, the crew explains the rules, there’s unlimited wine s d soft drinks on coses, beer for purchase, and they feed you dinner. I had a pork souvlaki, that was amazing. It came with fresh Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves and tzatziki. The crew was super fun, and the swimming and snorkeling was amazing. 10/10 would book again.
