Walk the ravine lanes to understand cave-house life beyond Therasia's exposed caldera rim
Potamos reveals a different response to volcanic terrain. Homes, yards and churches gather within a ravine rather than facing the caldera spectacle, and cave-built spaces use the soft material for shelter. This remains a lived-in settlement with fragile private buildings.
Follow public lanes, never enter caves or courtyards without invitation and avoid flying drones over homes. Gradients and broken surfaces require solid shoes. Ask locally which churches are open and combine the village with Agrilia only in safe daylight.
