Then you reach Imerovigli. At about 900 ft above sea level, Imerovigli is often referred as the “balcony of the Aegean” and it definitely lives up to this name by offering a most spectacular view of the Aegean sunset.
Oia is the next stop and the most famous village of Santorini and one of unrivalled beauty.

Next, you head to the off the beaten village of Pyrgos, which exhibits all the magic of Santorini and trademark panoramic views of both sides of the island.
