Imerovigli photoshoot
The highest village on the caldera and the quietest of the three. Skaros Rock.
Imerovigli
The highest village on the caldera and the quietest of the three. Skaros Rock, the chapel terraces and the cliff path toward Firostefani give the widest views with almost nobody in the frame.
Best time: Golden hour, 70 to 10 minutes before sunset, on the chapel terrace below Skaros; sunrise for the blue-domed Anastasi church.
We have photographed 173 of the sessions in our portfolio here. Below: why the village works, the hour for each spot, the meeting point, the rules, and the packages that include it.
Meeting point

Parking and taxis at the square; the chapel terrace is a 7-minute walk down.

| Spot | What it is | 06:00 10:00 | 10:00 16:00 | 16:00 sunset | sunset dark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skaros Rock | The rock itself is a 20-minute scramble; we photograph from the chapel terrace below it, where the light stays on faces longer. | ||||
| Agios Georgios chapel terrace | White patterned roof, the cross and the whole caldera. Our most used proposal spot. | ||||
| Anastasi church (blue dome) | A blue dome without the Oia queue. Best from 08:00 to 10:00 or at the very end of the day. | ||||
| Cliff path to Firostefani | The candle-lit proposals happen here: a wide ledge above the caldera, empty after 19:00. |

Questions
What are the best places for photos in Santorini?
The castle, windmills and blue domes of Oia; Skaros Rock and the chapel terraces of Imerovigli; the caldera path and Three Bells in Fira; Akrotiri lighthouse at sunset; Vlychada's sculpted cliffs; Pyrgos and Megalochori for quiet alleys. Our locations guide ranks them by hour and crowd level.
Where are the blue domes and how many are there?
The three famous domes stand in Oia below the main walkway, and Oia has about a dozen more. Imerovigli and Firostefani have their own blue-domed churches with far fewer people. We know the terraces that look straight at them.
Oia or Imerovigli?
Oia for the famous postcard, Imerovigli for space. Oia has the domes, the windmills and the castle, and in summer it also has the crowds. Imerovigli has Skaros Rock, the chapel terraces and the widest caldera view, with almost nobody in your frame.
Are there photography rules or permits in Oia?
Oia asks visitors and photographers to keep the pathways clear and to respect residents and church property. Some church courtyards are private and may be closed to shoots or ask for a small contribution. We follow the rules on the day, keep a low profile and never block a path for a photo.
