<\/span><\/p>\n3.Stroll around the beautiful villages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nOia is the most famous and gorgeous village in Santorini, but it gets really busy. It sits on a big cliff, looking out at the volcano and Thirassia island. Oia’s charm comes from its classic Greek style, with cute white houses, charming alleys, and an amazing sunset. If you want to explore other pretty villages that are less crowded, check out Pyrgos, Fira, Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Emporio, each with its own unique houses.<\/p>\n
Angel’s tip:<\/strong><\/span> For peaceful views after a bit of hiking, visit Skaros rock. The views from the top are fantastic, you can see the whole caldera and the edge of Santorini town. Getting on top is not easy, but worth it. Have water with you and running shoes. Don’t miss the Chapel of Panagia Theoskapsti hidden at the back of the cliff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/explorewithangel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9656-1440x1080.jpg\")
