Imerovigli & Skaros Rock Santorini 2027: Quiet Caldera Views & Sunset Walk

·3 min

Imerovigli sits 300 m above the caldera — the highest village on Santorini and the locals' choice for sunset, half the crowds of Oia and twice the breathing room.

Skaros Rock hike

From Imerovigli's main path, a 20 min walk down (steep, sturdy shoes essential) leads to Skaros Rock — a massive volcanic outcrop with the ruins of a Venetian castle. At the tip stands the tiny white Theoskepasti chapel, perched on the cliff edge. Free, open access. Climb back is harder than the descent.

Caldera path

The pedestrian caldera path from Fira → Firostefani → Imerovigli → Oia (9 km, 3 h) passes through here — Imerovigli to Oia is the best 2 h stretch (caldera views all the way).

Sunset spots

The Skaros viewpoint at sunset is dramatic and free. For dinner with caldera view: Buddha-Bar Beach (Grace Hotel, mains 35-60 €), Aroma Avlis (Greek, 25-40 €).

Parking

Free street parking along the main road (limited). Bus from Fira every 30 min (1.80 €).

Stay in a villa with caldera view in Imerovigli or Firostefani and combine with a private caldera sunset cruise.
