10 Fundamentals About Santorini day tour You Didn't Learn in School

1. Walking From Fira to Oia

The very best thing to do in Santorini is the walking from Fira to Oia.

This is the single ideal thing to do on Santorini-- as well as it's cost-free! The views are incredible. The hike takes somewhere in between 2 as well as 5 hrs depending on your speed as well as the number of pictures you quit to bring the means. Beginning in Fira and also move north via Firostefani and afterwards Imerovigli (this component of the course feels more like a village pathway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mostly rural path, with only a few shops or restaurants. Many people will wish to put on a strong running footwear for the stroll however I've certainly seen individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't entirely marked yet it's relatively intuitive: remain on the course that complies with the side of the caldera and also walk north (when unsure keep to the left/west). Certainly, it's great to do the stroll in the contrary direction yet it really feels extra natural (to me) to stroll north to Oia and the island's suggestion. And also walking into Oia from capitals above is an amazing surface. If it's July or August I 'd very recommend starting before 8am.

A remarkably enjoyable as well as one-of-a-kind way of seeing the caldera. There are different trips that go different areas-- Santorini top tours all leave from Perivolos in the south of the island. The fastest excursion (" South Tour") sees neighboring Red Beach and White Beach and also lasts about 90 minutes. The medium-length (" Volcano Scenic Tour", 140 mins) copulates right into the caldera and also picks up a swim in the hot springs by the volcano. The longest tour (" Extreme Volcano Tour", 200 minutes) takes the volcano trip and also includes Thirassia as well as Ammoudi Bay.

My boy has actually done the volcano tour when he was 14 and also 15 years old (that's him in the picture) and also considers it among one of the most enjoyable points we have actually ever done. Staff get along, handy, and really safety and security conscious. There's a motorboat with the trip the whole way so if somebody requires a break they can switch to the boat and one of the staff will certainly ride the jet ski. I like the boat tours of the caldera but this takes it to one more level-- the cliffs are ideal there! The very same business likewise does parasailing, tubing, and also water winter sports.
