Information about Emporio

Emporio Santorini: The village of Emporio is the largest settlement of Santorini and is located 12 km from Fira, on the foothills of Mount Prophet Elias.

Half way up, one can find the 15th century fortress which looks as will slide down the hill at any moment. To the east of the town you will see the market and some nice hotels leading to the well-known Perissa beach.
