10 Things Everyone Hates About Santorini guided tours

1. Walking From Fira to Oia

The most effective point to do in Santorini is the walking from Fira to Oia.

This is the solitary best thing to do on Santorini-- and also it's totally free! The sights are incredible. The hike takes someplace in between 2 and 5 hours depending on your speed as well as the number of images you quit to bring the means. Start in Fira and relocate north via Firostefani and afterwards Imerovigli (this part of the course feels more like a town pathway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mainly country path, with just a couple of stores or restaurants. Most people will Santorini tours wish to use a sturdy running shoe for the stroll but I have actually definitely seen individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't totally marked yet it's fairly intuitive: stay on the path that complies with the edge of the caldera and walk north (when in doubt keep to the left/west). Naturally, it's fine to do the stroll in the contrary direction but it feels extra natural (to me) to stroll north to Oia and the island's tip. And walking right into Oia from capitals over is an incredible coating. If it's July or August I 'd highly advise beginning before 8am.

2. Sunset, Caldera, as well as Volcano Watercraft Scenic Tour

My kid has actually done the volcano excursion when he was 14 and also 15 years old (that's him in the picture) as well as considers it one of one of the most enjoyable things we have actually ever before done. Personnel are friendly, valuable, and very security mindful.
