Imerovigli is a serene village on the highest point of the caldera rim, known as the 'balcony of Santorini.' Visitors can wander along narrow paths lined with whitewashed Cycladic houses, chapels, and upscale hotels. The village provides unobstructed panoramas of the volcano, Thirassia, and the sunset. A highlight is the Skaros Rock, a former Venetian fortress with hiking trails offering even more dramatic views. Unlike bustling Fira, Imerovigli offers a peaceful retreat with elegant dining and boutique shopping.
Don't miss
- Hike to Skaros Rock for panoramic views of the caldera and sunset.
- Stroll along the caldera path to Fira or Oia for scenic photo opportunities.
- Dine at a cliffside restaurant with views of the volcano and the Aegean Sea.
