Imerovigli holidays:
The little village of Imerovigli sits on a higher cliff just a few minutes trek from Fira. Imerovigli has the ancient beauty of a traditional Greek village. Its name is derived from the word “vigla”, which means “day”, a fitting name for a place that looks spectacular during the day because of its whiteness and tranquility.

What makes Imerovigli unique among the places in Santorini is the blissful accommodation offered by the gallant hotels within the village. These hotels, villas and apartments are what made Imerovigli the top choice for holidaymakers for accommodation. The hospitality is unparalleled in this place, a virtue already perfected by the villagers through time.

The main attraction in Imerovigli is an enormous rock called Skaros, which is not just an ordinary boulder but a monument to history. Skaros was said to be part of the land that made up the old Imerovigli. It is said that on this cliff stood a mighty castle where all the administrative offices of Santorini were housed during the 1800s. The great earthquake of 1956 destroyed part of Skaros and was submerged along with half of Santorini. Today, most of Imerovigli is covered by new hotels and all types of accommodation. Anyone taking a cheap holiday to Santorini choose Imerovigli as a place to sleep, relax and bond with their loved ones. If guests prefer to have a little fun and night out, the more commercial village of Fira is a mere two-kilometer walk.

The color of Imerovigli changes from peaceful white to bright orange to astounding red during sunset. The stunning view of the volcano seen from the edge of a cliff makes for an unforgettable and breathtaking experience that will be etched in your memory forever.
