Imerovigli

Imerovigli is a village located on the island of Santorini in Greece. Situated on the northwestern coast of the island, it occupies a prominent position on the caldera rim, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the volcano. The village is known for its elevated location, earning it the nickname "Balcony of the Aegean."

Historically, Imerovigli was a strategic point, with a fortress, Skaros Rock, located nearby. This rocky outcrop served as a defensive settlement during medieval times. Today, Skaros Rock is a popular site for visitors to explore, offering dramatic vistas. The architecture in Imerovigli is characteristic of Santorini, featuring whitewashed Cycladic houses, blue-domed churches, and narrow winding paths carved into the cliffside.

The village has become a sought-after destination for tourists, particularly for its luxurious accommodations, many of which are built into the volcanic rock. Visitors are drawn to Imerovigli for its tranquility, stunning sunsets, and opportunities for hiking along the caldera path that connects it to Fira and Oia. Its elevated position provides a sense of seclusion while still being easily accessible to other parts of the island.
