There are some amazing hike trails on the island. I personally love hiking and I am considering organising a hike group on the famous Fira-Oia trail Sunday morning.
This is a 10k hike, needs good physical condition and proper shoes. We will be walking at a good pace (taking breaks for pictures of course and enjoying the landscape).
I have done it 4 times in the past. Max 8 people. Who is interested? Indicative time Sunday morning 🙂 indicative duration 3,5 hours with back and forth.

Fira to Oia
Best hike for seeing Santorini
12.5km (7.7 miles) – 3-5 hours – moderate
This spectacular walk takes you along the cusp of the caldera on a winding route linking Santorini’s main town, Fira, with the main village of the north, Oia.
Views are sublime, with sweeping Aegean panoramas and views across the island’s rocky landscapes, sheer escarpments, silvery-green olive groves and scattered ruins. The trail is easy in parts, but more challenging in certain stretches where it’s rocky and uneven underfoot.
In all but the lowest of the low season, you’ll see plenty of others enjoying the walk. Islanders hit the trail in the cooler months and in spring they enthusiastically pick wildflowers. Although the overall route to Oia loses a few hundred meters of elevation, there are a couple of steep climbs and many more mild descents.
Families with children 10 and older will enjoy the hike, but the route is not suitable for younger children or strollers. Bring plenty of water as local stores in villages along the way may shut for their afternoon break during the hottest hours.
