Path 6 (Six): Turn toward Megalochori

Route // Waypoint

Description

A two kilometer path (30 to 40 minutes) that connects two large, beautiful villages in Santorini, Pyrgos and Megalochori. The path starts in Pyrgos as a road that runs perpendicular to the main road that crosses through the settlement, near the outer square, heading toward Megalochori. The road soon becomes a dirt road that passes through (what else?) vineyards! Approximately 700 meters from the beginning, where the vineyards start, we will see a small wooden sign on our right with an arrow pointing toward Megalochori. From here the main path begins that leads to the northern end of Megalochori and the beginning of the stream bed that crosses through the village. From this point, walking along the bed, we meet in turn the churches of Saint George (Agios Georgios), Saint (Agia) Paraskevi, and - uphill on our left - Saint Anthony (Agios Antonios).
