The area of Oia, including Tholos and Foinikia hosts around 70 churches. Some of them have been built and others have been excavated just like the cave houses. The thing is that this large number of churches in such a small region is due to the maritime life of its habitants. This means that people used to build churches in order to ensure that the God would favor them with safe journeys.
