I was wondering how you pronounce the name of the Greek village Oia which is in Santorini, Greece.

If you write it Oia, then you pronounce it Eea.

"oh-wee-ya"...hold it, I'm INCORRECT.
Oia (Οία) (pronounced Ia) "eye-ya"...nope, STILL NOT RIGHT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oia,_Greece
Oia, (pronounced E-ah). "ee-ya"...ah ha, THAT'S IT!

Ok, at least I admit my mistakes.
