Is Ancient Thera worth visiting?

The archaeological site of Ancient Thera perched high on a mountain overlooking the ocean is a fascinating place. It dates back to at least the 9th century BC and became of significant importance in the 3rd century BC when the Ptolemaic wartime fleet for the entire Aegean Sea was stationed in the city's harbor.

Can you walk up to Ancient Thera?

You can either choose the road going up from Kamari village, which can be accessed both by car and on foot, hike up a trail from Perissa village only on foot, or follow a trekking path from Prophet Elias Monastery, which is nestled on the mountain ridge of Mesa Vouno.
