Trace the best Caldera views of Santorini, Santorini
There's nothing like a Santorini sunset, as the island's viewpoints are some of the Cyclades' best.
Overview
Perhaps the best way to enjoy the Caldera views is along the Fira to Oia Walking Path. This route runs underneath the island's main road, offering a peaceful and quiet stroll while enjoying endless, uninterrupted views. You don't have to trek the entire trail to reap the benefits. The distance between Fira-Firostefani-Imerovigli is ideal for a relaxed sunset walk!
One of the island's best spots for sunset is Skaros Rock, an impressive rock formation that juts out into the sea. The views require a short hike from the trailhead at Imerovigli, so wear some sturdy shoes. The terrain is rocky, so pay attention to where you step, especially when returning from sunset after dark.
As this is a self guided tour, you have full flexibility to adjust the schedule and stops according to your preferences and preferred travel pace.
