Imerovigli is a picturesque village situated at the north of the island, only 2 km away from the capital of Fira. Actually, it is the extension of Fira, but the village is situated on a higher cliff.
The name of Imerovigli comes from the word “vigla,” which means “day”.
The position of the village provides a great view of the area,
and allowed villagers to see approaching pirate ships. Today, Imerovigli is a charming and quiet village.
The area has many hotels and typical houses. There are also some nice taverns.
In front of Imerovigli lies an enormous rock called Scaros. Scaros is part of the land and had a castle built on it until the early 1800s. The castle housed all the administrative offices of the island. This part of the island collapsed after an earthquake, and only the huge hill of Scaros is left today.
Imerovigli also faces the volcano and offers an incredible view of the sunset.
