Overview

Let’s wander around! Our intention is to involve you in a special and unique adventure that includes the beautiful scenery of Oia, breathtaking landscapes, and picturesque architecture. Hiking tours in Santorini are ideal for hikers who want to lose themselves in nature. Santorini's walking tour from Fira to Oia is the most scenic trail, and it holds many unexpected delights. First, we drive you to our meeting point in Fira. Then, our excursion begins with hiking along the cliffside of the Caldera. Further, we will hike through the villages of Firostefani, Imerovigli, and finally, Oia.

This walking tour takes about 4-5 hours, depending on your walking tempo, how many stops you require, and how much you love taking pictures! Just keep going North.

Generally speaking, the distance we will cover in the Santorini hiking tour from Fira to Oia is almost 10km / 6 miles … ok, let’s say 15.000 unique and different steps. For most of the trail, we will walk near the edge of the Caldera.

Fira (pass by)

We will start walking from Fira, taking the road towards the island’s northern part. Then, we walk up the narrow street with the steps. On this street, there are many souvenirs or jewelry shops. Meanwhile, follow the signs for the cable car. Once we pass in front of it, we continue to Petros Nomikos Conference Center. The locals call this spot ” Patsouli.” As a matter of fact, the view from there is astounding. For many people, it is the most beautiful place on the island. It is undoubtedly the most romantic, with its incomparable view down over the road to the Yialos. The town of Fira lies to our left, merging into the village of Firostefani, whose square we reach after 800 meters.

Firostefani (pass by)

Firostefani is an extension of Fira and, on a different scale, could be thought of as the northern suburbs of the capital. The village is long and narrow, standing on the edge of the precipice. It has its square, restaurant, hotels, coffee shop, and a large and impressive church of St. Gerasimos, which- unusually for the island- is surrounded by tall cypresses. Firostefani has a deeper cliff. The view of the path with its steps and the little harbor at Mesa Yialos is picturesque. As we walk north from the square, we enter the central part of the village. To the left is the island’s most elegant and splendid rock mass, Skaros. This section of the town has now been completely restored. During the hiking tour, you will notice that the courtyards, roofs, and protruding portions of the “skafta” houses (cave houses) create a beautiful variety of shapes, masses, and colors as we see them from above. At the same time, we will follow the inner road that crosses the beautiful settlement.

Imerovigli

Imerovigli has a unique location in Santorini. It is situated at about the caldera’s center and at its highest point. It allows for a panoramic view. Imerovigli owes its name to this position because it was the daytime observatory when the pirates infested the Aegean Sea. It is a gorgeous, picturesque cosmopolitan ‘village’ built-in with complete aesthetic harmony with the environment. In addition, its central church of Panagia Malteza takes its name from an icon. It seems that they found it in the Sea of Malta. The first small part of a clear path outside Imerovigli is magical as it offers evocative views.

Oia (pass by)

We will continue until we arrive at Stavros, a small white church; this is an excellent time to relax and take photos. Before leaving the church, we can follow a small path that leads to a red hill. The route is covered with volcanic ash and white rocks, creating a lunar landscape. The view above the mountains is fantastic, unquestionably beautiful, and breathtaking. After the end of the white road, the hiking is over, but another chapter of photography of the magical landscape begins.Once we arrive in Oia village, we will walk through the traditional village to discover the way of life of its inhabitants during the 19th and 20th centuries.
