It is built amphitheatrically on a hill that offers magnificent views of Santorini in almost all directions. On top of this hill remain the ruins of a Venetian castle (Kasteli) that was once the island's administrative center.Pause for a traditional Greek lunch then a photo stop at the famed black-sand beach of Perissa.

A steep walk to the upper portion of town takes you to the cable car for the ride back to port.
