Imerovigli is a tranquil settlement perched high on the caldera rim, often called the 'balcony of Santorini' for its unobstructed views. Unlike the crowded streets of Oia, this village offers a more refined experience, with upscale hotels and infinity pools seemingly spilling into the sea. The main attraction is Skaros Rock, a rugged promontory once home to a Venetian fortress; a short hike leads to its summit for sweeping vistas of the caldera and neighboring islands. Visitors can wander the cliffside footpaths, browse small art galleries, or simply soak in the serenity from a terrace café.

Don't miss

  • Hike to the top of Skaros Rock for panoramic caldera views
  • Watch the sunset from the Agios Georgios church bell tower
  • Stroll the caldera-edge path connecting Imerovigli to Fira
