Santorini Caldera Walk Hiking Experience Fira-Oia
Overview
Available languages
4 hours
Mobile ticket
You’d be missing out on some of the best views in Europe if you didn’t walk the caldera-top path at least once.
Santorini is a pretty amazing place. A volcanic eruption over 3000 years ago morphed this tiny island in Greece into something you’dont expect to see . You also have tiny towns full of buildings dressed in white, adding to the otherworldly utopia feeling. The walking path is a mix of paved, pedestrian streets and dirt hiking trails. On our way from Fira to Oia you will pass through the towns of Firostefani and Imerovigli and enjoy some of the most beautiful views of the island

What To Expect
Fira to Oia Walk
This walk is one of Santorini’s top experiences. In this tour you are given the chance to see from up close exactly what the cliffsides of Santorini look like! Connecting Fira which is the capital of Santorini with the northest part of the island, which is Oia, the Caldera rim trail will give you much more than a simple walk in nature. After being picked up from your accommodation point, you will be transferred to Fira Town from where we will start our walk. The walking path is a mix of paved, pedestrian streets and dirt hiking trails. On our way from Fira to Oia you will pass through the towns of Firostefani and Imerovigli and enjoy some of the most beautiful views of the islands. The entire distance we will cover is just over 10 km (about 6 miles).When we reach Oia, you will get some free time to relax and at the end of our tour you will be transferred back to your accommodation.

This tour is overpriced...

2.00This tour is overpriced for the experience. Their was no extra value/services provided that we could have not just done ourselves. The Guide didn't show up at scheduled pick-up time of 8am and only contacted us directly 53 minutes (at 8:53am). The pickup time was confirmed to us at 6:44pm the evening before the tour. He didn't pick us up until 9:40am! We sent messages via the Viator app, as well as on WhatsApp to the tour company and no one responded until I had our hotel front desk phone the company. Overall this was a poor experience and I would never recommend this tour. Just do the hike self guided, it is a beautiful hike and easy to navigate on your own!
Beautiful Walk!

Unforgettable Santorini Hike with Panos — A Must for Any Greece Traveler

5.00Hiking Santorini with Panos is an experience I will wholeheartedly recommend to anyone traveling to Greece. As a true local, Panos brings a depth of knowledge and connection to the island that elevates the entire journey. He knows every turn of the trail, every hidden viewpoint, and shares fascinating insights about Santorini’s history, geology, and culture along the way. The hike itself was not just scenic—it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Walking along the caldera with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, passing through traditional villages, and watching the shifting light over the whitewashed cliffs was genuinely awe-inspiring. It felt less like a tourist activity and more like being welcomed into the heart of the island. Panos is also an outstanding guide in every practical sense. He’s in great shape, kept a pace that was comfortable yet energizing, and came prepared with extra water and supplies for the group. More than that, he was a joy to talk to—friendly, funny, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had an incredible experience. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a deeper, more meaningful way to connect with Santorini beyond the typical postcard views, I can’t recommend this hike enough. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after your trip ends.

5.00My cousin and I were amazed at the kindness that our guide Arsenios showed us. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the region. He took extra care of us because of our needs and was just a delight to walk the beautiful caldera with. I cannot recommend this walk/hike enough. The scenery is beautiful. The churches are amazing and both Firs and Oia cannot be missed. Thank you again Arsenios and I hope we meet again. Joanne & Sue
