  Beautiful, secluded church overlooking Fira on the left and Oia on the right. Can imagine that it would be a great place for a sunset. Stumbled upon it by accident at the very end of the Skaros rock pathway. Went during the middle of they day and it was very hot, so bring water, a hat, and good shoes. There are two ways to reach this church from the ruins. 1. Straight forward, which takes you up some stairs to Skaros rock and then you have to descend some stairs later to the church. 2. Sharp left at the beginning of the ruins which takes you under the cliffs and directly to the church. If you are worried about falling rocks, I would go with path 1, but path 2 has less elevation change.

  The best dome you can find in all santoriny, its like finding a hidden treasure behind the mountains 😍 + you can ring the bells😍 Hints: ✅ It is going to be a long hike, make sure to wear proper shoes, and go early morning or before sunset, else you will be sun burned. ✅the wind will be insane if you wanna have photos on rooftop ✅climbing the arches on the rooftop might be tricky, if you can have a small ladder or something like that, it would be helpful ✅On the way back you see a two way, chose the right one, it will go around the mountain and help you avoid all stairs and going ups and downs
