Luxury and boutique hotels in Imerovigli

On the surface, Santorini isn’t geared up for singletons, with its bridal-white buildings (often accessorised with actual brides taking photoshoots) and rows of coupled-up terraces awaiting breathtaking sunsets. Imerovigli is deep in honeymoon territory with its glamorous bars and upscale stays, plus its dramatic viewpoints for Skaros Rock soaring out of the sapphire-blue caldera waters. Set roughly in the middle of the island, it’s a good point from which to explore bustling Oia in the north or historic Akrotiri in the south, or take a tour of the island’s vineyards to get well acquainted with the local Assyrtiko. But, it’s not all getting lost in each other’s eyes and sloshed on wine: follow the Ekklisia Theoskepasti to see some ancient treasures, and wander up to the much-photographed Agios Nikolaos church – just be sure to make it back before sundown.
