Santorini’s Emporio village is the largest on the island. Built at the base of the Profitis Ilias Mountain, the village was once the center of Santorini commercial activity, hence the name, which translates to “trade.”
One of five fortified Santorini castles, Kasteli, is located within Emporio. The medieval castle grounds are home to a 16th century church.
Nearby, the Tower of Nimborio, once a watchtower, overlooks the scene. Emporio’s one museum is the Tomato Industrial Museum. Located within the Santorini Arts Factory, the museum offers a history of Santorini’s major export, the cherry tomato, along with a history of island culture and industry. Emporio is home to several restaurants, bars and retail shops.
