After approximately 30-40 minutes of walking, you will see the Old Mill on your right, located near the waterfront.

From Fira, go to the central bus station located near the main square (Plateia Theotokopoulou). Catch a bus heading to Oia, which runs frequently. The bus ride will take about 20 minutes. Get off at the Oia bus station. From the bus station, walk towards the center of Oia, and follow the road downhill towards the coast. Once you reach the waterfront area, walk to your right, and after a short distance, you will find the Old Mill.
