Imerovigli
The highest village on the caldera rim, known as the 'balcony of the Aegean' — luxury suites, infinity pools, and the best sunset views without Oia's mob.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
Quieter and arguably more beautiful than its famous neighbors, with sweeping views down to Skaros Rock.
Our read - 02
It's residential and serene, which is exactly the appeal — and the catch, since there's little to 'do' beyond admire the view and dine well.
