3 Imerovigli- Skaros A 30 minute route, where steps lead to the Venetian
Kasteli (fortified settlement) of Skaros, on the top of a steep rock over
the sea. The view is tremendous all the way along.
4 Perissa –Mesa Vouno- Ancient Thera After one hour's hike, we reach
Mesa Vouno, the archaeological site of ancient Thera, where one can
wander around iera odos (path to a temple), the agora, the theatre, the
sanctuaries, the Gymnasium, the Roman thermae.
5 Pyrgos– Mesa Vouno- Profitis Ilias- Ancient Thera A 4km route south
of Pyrgos, in a beautiful area which has been included in the Natura

Vouno. The monastery also accommodates an Ecclesiastical and Folk
Museum, with rare exhibits like the manuscript codices from the 8th

Palea Kameni has warm springs and yellowish-blue waters coloured by
