Getting there

Walking

If you are starting from Fira, the capital of Santorini, head towards the main square (Plateia Theotokopoulou). From the square, follow the road leading to the cable car station. Once you reach the cable car, continue straight along the main road (Agiou Mina) toward the direction of the old port. Keep walking past the shops and restaurants until you reach the intersection at the bottom of the hill. At this intersection, take the left turn onto the 'Unnamed Road.' Follow this road for about 15 minutes, and you should arrive at Petite ruine, which is located on the right side of the road.

Public Transport

From Fira, you can take a local bus to Pyrgos, which is one of the main villages on the island. The bus station is located near the main square. Once you arrive in Pyrgos, exit the bus and walk towards the village center. Follow signs leading to the 'Unnamed Road' and continue walking for about 20 minutes. After a scenic walk through the village, you will arrive at Petite ruine on your right.

Taxi

If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a taxi from any location in Santorini, such as Fira or Oia. Simply ask the driver to take you to 'Petite ruine, Unnamed Road, Santorini.'
