    Continuing North-West from Fira, we reach Imerovigli. Located at about 300 meters above sea level, Imerovigli is very often referred to as the” balcony of the Aegean sea", and it definitely lives up to this name by offering the most spectacular view of the Aegean sunset. Other attractions include many churches in typical Cycladic architecture, especially the Church of ay-Stratis and the Monastery of Saint Nicholas, as well as The Skaros Rock, where the remains of a medieval fortress are preserved.

    (Optional) The sights of Megalochori are two impressive churches standing on the village's central square. The Church of the Introduction of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a wooden iconostasis and Byzantine icons of the Russian school, and the church of Agia Anargiri celebrate July 1, the day of a big holiday in the village. The village has been mentioned in written sources since the mid-17th century. It also appears on the map of 1801. The broader area's findings indicate that it has been inhabited since the early Cycladic and Late Cycladic periods.

    On the top of the mountain Profitis Ilias (prophet Elias), the highest point of Santorini at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, there is a monastery of the same name. Even those who do not like to take photos will not resist the desire to take a few pictures from this amazing vantage point.

    (Optional) The village of Pyrgos shows all the magic of Santorini and the signature panoramic views on both sides of the island, but also retains the features of Venetian rule. Traditional Cycladic houses and paths surround the old Venetian castle, offering the best of both worlds and making the village of Pyrgos a place not to be missed.
