Megalochori is a village in Santorini, Greece, located in the South Aegean region. Perched on the island's volcanic plateau, the village features whitewashed Cycladic architecture and narrow winding streets typical of the Aegean islands. Visitors explore traditional stone houses, local tavernas serving regional cuisine, and enjoy views across the caldera landscape during walks through the settlement.
Megalochori is a traditional Cycladic settlement located in the southwestern interior of Santorini, Greece, at approximately 9 kilometres south of Fira. The village is recognised for its intact network of vaulted kapari alleys, historic canava wine cellars carved into volcanic tuff, and several post-Byzantine Orthodox churches. It lies within the wine-producing corridor that connects the settlements of Pyrgos and Emporio, making it a central reference point for Santorini's indigenous viticulture and agricultural heritage.
