1. Walk From Fira to Oia

The very best point to do in Santorini is the walk from Fira to Oia.

This is the solitary finest point to do on Santorini-- as well as it's totally free! The views are amazing. The walk takes somewhere between 2 and 5 hrs depending upon your speed and how many pictures you stop to bring the means. Begin in Fira as well as relocate north through Firostefani and after that Imerovigli (this part of the course feels even more like a town pathway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mainly country course, with just a couple of shops or dining establishments. Most individuals will certainly intend to use a tough running shoe for the walk yet I've definitely seen individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't completely marked yet it's fairly instinctive: stay on the path that complies with the edge of the caldera and walk north (when in doubt keep to the left/west). Obviously, it's fine to do the walk in the contrary direction yet it really feels a lot more all-natural (to me) to walk north to Oia as well as the island's pointer. As well as strolling into Oia from the hills over is an incredible surface. If it's July or August I 'd highly recommend starting prior to 8am.
