Kamari-Perissa

The route starts impressively, at the base of the large cliffs of Kamari. The very good cobbled path winds between boulders and walls and reaches Zoodochos Pigi, near the spring that watered the ancient city of Thera. In the cave you can spot the stone basins and the two ponds.
The path goes up a last steep and somewhat exposed section and meets the road. Reach directly to Seladi, where is the entrance to the archaeological site of ancient Thera.
The descent is smooth and very pleasant. Passing by a ledge with a pine grove, the trail turns to the west side of the mountain. In the first turn, there is a path leading to the ledge of Panagia Katefiani.
With few turns, reach the higher part of Perissa settlement and continue untill the beach, where there are many shops and a bus stop.
