Megalochori, a peaceful traditional village of Santorini with stone cobbled streets. It is located 9 km southwest of Fira. The permanent residents of the village are about 300.

Another landmark of Megalochori is the elaborate steeples of the impressive churches,two of which stand at the center of the village. It is very famous for its vineyards and wineries. There are also two remote beaches on the Caldera side, both named after churches in the area,Plaka and Thermi beach. They are only accessible on foot or by boat. You can find traditional taverns and cafes where you can taste local dishes under the natural shade of the trees.
