Emporeio
Εμπορειό
Built at the foothill of Mount Prophet Ilias, Emporeio was the center of commercial activity in the island since the Venetian occupation. The largest village in Santorini forms the perfect spot for getting your supplies before heading to the beaches as it’s full of stores. Here you will also see the best preserved medieval Castle in Santorini, a token of great fortified architecture with arcades, vaults and buildings with curved shaped made of volcanic ashes.
