Hike to Skaros rock and relish stunning views of Santorini

April 21, 2013

Experience collectors, set off from your luxury hotel in Santorini to discover the best spot to enjoy the most stunning views. On the way to Imerovigli, see Skaros rock , as if a Sea Goddess, emerging imposing from waters. Hike to the mighty rock and get amazed to experience Santorini as you have never seen it before. The trail to the rock starts right in front of St George’s church and is the perfect place for preparation and relaxation before your walk, providing a natural terrace with magnificent views of the Caldera and Skaros

It is a long climb but worth the hike. Throughout the trail, immerse yourselves in the infinite blue view of the Aegean and the alluring volcanic scenery. Walk the path to the end and reach the hidden Chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti, offering unobstructed 360° panoramic view of the entire caldera. In the past, a impressive Venetian castle was located here. Unfortunately, it collapsed after an earthquake in the 19th century. According to the legend, the castle was never ever conquered during its long 600 years of existence.
