Visitors vacationing in Santorini should make the time to explore the historic Byzantine Castle Ruins . Visitors are urged to wear comfortable shoes for the short hike up and should head up the ruins in time to see the stunning sunset.

The remains of the 15th century castle offer one of the most beautiful, as well as one of the most photographed, sites in Greece; visitors can view a panoramic stretch of Santorini all the way from the citadel.

The picturesque whitewashed buildings stand out against the towering windmill, azure seas, and spectacular cliffs to create something out of a fairytale.
