Skaros Rock
Oia, Greece
Skaros Rock, perched in Imerovigli, Greece, was once a fortified castle built in the 15th century to protect against pirate invasions. Today, it offers a steep track leading to panoramic caldera views and the charming blue-domed church that stands behind it. The hike is best suited for those with reasonable physical fitness, as the many stairs can be demanding on the return journey.
