Villages
Perched atop the caldera cliffs, Imerovigli is a tranquil village in Santorini, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the iconic blue-domed churches that define the island's charm. Its name, meaning "Crown of Fira," reflects its elevated position just north of the island's bustling capital. Visitors can wander through narrow, cobblestone streets, explore traditional whitewashed houses, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets. A fun fact: While tourists crowd Oia's narrow streets like sardines trying to catch the famous Santorini sunset, savvy travelers head to Imerovigli - perched 300 meters higher on the caldera, it offers an even more spectacular view. Turns out watching the sun sink into the Aegean is even better when you're not watching it through someone else's selfie stick! The village's nickname "The Balcony to the Aegean" isn't just a marketing gimmick.
