Santorini Caldera Hike - Fira to Oia - Watch Before You Go

In Santorini, Greece, the #1 best thing to do is to hike the Fira to Oia trail along the caldera rim https://santorinidave.com/fira-oia-hike. The whole hike takes between 3-5 hours depending on how fast you walk, how often you stop, and can be done in either direction. We've got tons more info about how to prepare and what to expect at the link above. Overall, the hike begins in the densely packed area of Fira, where you pass through lots of commerce, before ascending up and over a hill and through Firostefani, which is also filled with a variety of restaurants and shops. There's a slight climb out of Firostefani en route to Imerovigli, which is mostly flat. Leaving Imerovigli is where it becomes more of a hike, with fewer hotels and businesses, and more open and dramatic caldera views, before eventually finishing in Oia. The side hike off of Imerovigli around Skaros Rock will add an additional hour or so to your hike, and is also fantastic. If you've got the time and energy to include it, it's definitely worth it.
