Traveler reviews
Rudy von Ravensberg
★★★★★3 months agoI could only view the heart from a distance, simply because I didn’t make the effort to walk down the trail. I was mostly there to watch the sunset with very few people, especially in comparison the giant crowds fighting over room in Oia.

★★★★★4 months agoNot for anyone with mobility issues as it has rough path down. There is a car park on the top and then you have to walk down to the heart of Santorini viewpoint first and then to the church below it. The views from here are amazing and you can get some really nice pics 😊
