Serviced Apartments in Imerovíglion

The town of Fira on Santorini has grown so much since the earthquake in 1956 which all but destroyed it that Imerovigli is now part of it. It is quieter than Fira and further up the cliff, giving stunning views of the caldera of the volcano and also of the town below. If you stay in an apartment rental in Imerovigli, you will be opting for the quiet life, but if you fancy a bit of a night out then the bars and restaurants of Fira are in easy walking distance.

Sunset over the caldera is a high spot in any day, but if you are a fan of the Twilight series you may want to consider that Santorini is reckoned to be the most vampire-ridden area of Greece. And the scary thing about Greek vampires (called vyrkolaks) is that they come out in the sunlight as well! Whether you believe in such things or not, taking teenagers with you to stay in your holiday let in Imerovigli will certainly raise their street cred with their friends back home. The island holds various vampire events throughout the summer and if your Imerovigli serviced apartment rental should coincide with one of these you will find it good fun.

Santorini is also supposed to be the gateway to Hades in legend, where Persephone was stolen by Pluto, lord of the underworld. It is hard to believe from your sunny holiday apartment in Imerovigli that the island can be connected with such a dark story, but there is something about the island’s arid dark cliffs that creates that kind of folklore. Greece generally is steeped in myth and legend and so somewhere like Santorini, which not only erupted with enough force to blow it apart but still has earthquakes to this day is bound to have legends all its own.

The village of Imerovigli, the site of your serviced accommodation, has seen its share of earthquakes, having been the worst affected area in the back quake of 1956. This has had the effect of clearing away old buildings on the cliff edge, which had to be abandoned, and creating a very light and bright tourist area. Imerovigli has many self-catered apartments and holiday rentals, giving a lot of choice in a small area. Because it is popular with tourists, infrastructure is good and you can take day trips out from the village with ease.
