The Caldera Hike from Fira to Oia, Santorini

Today is your chance to hike Santorini’s and one of Greece's most impressive trails, along the rim of the island's famous volcanic caldera with this 4.5-hour guided trekking tour. This walk of approximately 6 miles/ 10 kilometers follows the edge of the volcano that once inspired the myth of Atlantis, the legendary civilization that became lost under the sea having fallen out of favor with the gods. As you hike this beautiful route, you will also get to learn about those who traveled the path before you, including ancient merchants, farmers, and sailors. 

You'll start in Fira, the island capital, strolling through the traditional whitewashed village that hangs spectacularly along the caldera cliff. You will be hiking towards Oia, your end destination and another charming whitewashed village on the caldera rim. 

You'll stop in Firostefani, Imerovigli, and in the outskirts of Oia, learning about local customs and traditions. As you traverse the rugged volcanic terrain on a good but often moderately challenging path, enjoy more views of the land rolling away to vineyards and pretty terraced gardens.

Please bear in mind that the difficulty level of this trail is moderate to difficult and includes a lot of steps and rugged terrain. To participate this tour, good level of fitness is required. 

Please inform your travel specialist in case of any dietary intolerances or allergies.

This tour starts in the morning to minimize the effect of crowds and heat and finishes at around lunch time.
