Hiking
Perched on the northwestern edge of Santorini, Skaros Rock was once home to a medieval fortress that protected the island from pirates. It now stands as a mesmerising ruin overlooking the Aegean Sea.
The site offers a unique geological display of volcanic formations and ancient buildings carved into the rocky landscape.
Skaros was the capital of Santorini until the 18th century, when the town of Fira took its place.
The ruins are a great place to explore and watch the sun set over the sea.

Hike to Skaros with beautiful sunsets. However, dizziness is a prerequisite.
