If what you're seeking on Santorini is an idyll of peace and quiet, but still would
like to be near to where the action is, then Imerovigli is for you. This is the community
just north of Fira on the road to Oia, a few minutes from the shops and restaurants yet
gloriously secluded.
Lining the rim of the volcano of Imerovigli are several hotels of all classes, from super-luxurious
to clean rented rooms, all of them offering one of the finest vistas in the world -- a
view over the Caldera, which is what they call the bay of Santorini which is just a
great filled-in volcano crater.
In the mornings and evenings you can stroll along the clifftop footpath and enter Imerovigli
proper, where there are several good restaurants, plus useful establishments such as chemists
and supermarkets.
That's just a thumbnail sketch of Imerovigli. Chances are, when you view the sunset from
there, you won't want to leave. But that's another story.
