A couple of hours later, Virginia und Jimes are pushing their way through the streets of Oia. Beltzenitis is not happy with the morning’s work. The stylist got the curler tangled in Virginia’s hair, and they left too late so there were already several tourists and photographers out and about. He was also annoyed by his Chinese “colleagues” on the coast and even skipped one place altogether because even from a distance, he could see that it was overcrowded. But Oia is a must, even though it is always packed. For many, this village with its narrow, winding streets is the loveliest on the entire island, making it a fixture on the shoot itinerary for photographers and their clientele. In the evening, the tourists gather at the northern end of the village – for the best views of the setting sun. The residents have devised a few tricks to cope with the floods of tourists: placing chairs on roof terraces to discourage visitors from walking on them and Private signs beside pathways, even though there are no private roads in Oia.
