Hiking Special: Routes starting from the village of Pyrgos!

The island of Santorini, with its magnificent landscape and jaw-dropping views to the Aegean Sea from almost every spot on the island, is a hidden paradise for nature lovers. Beyond the stunning, cosmopolitan caldera, the island’s hinterland presents some interesting opportunities for hiking and explorations, starting from picturesque, medieval villages or intriguing archaeological sites.

Some of the most pleasing routes in the paths of Santorini are:

The path from Pyrgos to the monastery of Profitis Ilias: Follow the stone paved path that begins from the village of Pyrgos leading to the monastery of Profitis Ilias, the highest spot of the island. There is adequate signage on the way, or simply, when the route splits in half, take the path on the left. On the way, you will find the scenic church of Agioi Apostoloi, and after hiking for a little less than an hour you will reach the imposing monastery.

From Profitis Ilias to Ancient Thira: the path leaving from the monastery leads to the archaeological site of Thira, the ancient capital of Santorini. The route lasts another hour, and it offers awe-inspiring panoramic views to the beaches of Perissa and Perivolos to the right, and the bay of Kamari to the left.

From Pyrgos to Emporeio: on the route from Pyrgos, follow the right path towards the picturesque village of Emporeio. This route is a virtual travel back in time, as you pass through the deserted houses and churches of old Emporeio, in a scenic ravine that truly gives you a taste of the olden Santorini.

From Emporeio to Perissa beach: After you have reached Emporeio and admired the impressive architecture, typical of the Cycladic isles, you can follow the path down to the beach of Perissa, another route with panoramic views to the coastline and the Aegean. The road to Perissa also leads to the ancient Thira, and you can combine your visit to the archaeological site.

Visiting Santorini is a unique experience, one that you will truly cherish after hiking in its path and feeling the island’s authentic appeal, its medieval ambiance, its soul. Make sure you have your hiking boots on and prepare for a hike into time, and into Santorini’s hidden treasures.

On the following links you can find very useful information about the paths’ details and where to stay during your adventure trip in Santorini.
