Emporio is a very charming little village 12 kilometers from Fira. As you will see the most famous and crowded tourist attractions of Santorini, I recommend a visit to Emporio for relaxation and regaining peace. Time has stopped here. Walking through the narrow passages between buildings, you can move to another era ...
If you already see the most famous places on the island: Oia and Fira, I recommend a trip to much less crowded places: Pyrgos and Emporio. There you can admire the architecture and feel the atmosphere of the real Santorini in peace, away from the crowd.
We stopped by the large church of Agios Nikolaos Marmaritis in the center of the village of Emporio. It is hard to believe that the island of 76 square kilometers has over 300 churches and chapels.
Walking around this small village, we admired the Greek style of decorating and organizing the place in the world ...
Emporio was a big surprise for us. At every turn there was an increasingly interesting view.
We entered the maze of sidewalks, stairs and walkways ... Such places have their charm.
Greek architecture amazed us with unconventional ideas and solutions in many places in Emporio.
And again, photography enthusiasts have room for action in such a place... Such unusual places always provoke me not to put the camera down but to record the extraordinary surroundings.
Emporio is a small town, so discovering it with a visit to the restaurant took less than 3 hours. I recommend exploring this other world. It is completely different there than in the popular tourist attractions of Santorini.
