Detailed itinerary
1
Head first to the northwest part of the island and live the best experience of Oia. Unique in every way with iconic blue domed churches and scenic pathways. One of the most photographed places in Greece, Oia is located on the top of an impressive cliff and offers a spectacular view over the volcano and the Aegean sea. The famous Venetian Castle is a major landmark of the village. Also known as the Castle of St Nikolas, the 15th-century castle was constructed during the Venetian occupation. Its location is the reason it constitutes one of the most popular places to watch the sunset in the entire Aegean Sea.
Other cultural attractions and landmarks include the Maritime Museum with its small library, windmills, and art galleries founded by numerous artists who fell in love with the area.
2
The Pyrgos Kallistis, such as the full name of the village is meaning the most beautiful tower, is the old capital of the island and the newest castle of the Kasteli (castle cities built during the 15th and 16th century). The medieval aura remains alive in the streets and in the shadow of the steeples of the many churches of the village. A walk to the Pyrgos village will bring you closer to an important piece of the history of the island.
3
The highest spot of the island (567 meters) is located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain's name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.
