What To Expect
Hikers across the globe dub this popular hiking trail as the Earth's most beautiful hike and for good reasons. While walking along the rim of the volcanic Caldera, you'll experience the breathtaking, panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, the Mediterranean islands and whitewashed, blue-topped Cycladic chapels.
Start your epic journey with a convenient hotel pickup and take a scenic ride with your tour guide to the old mule path that connects Santorini's capital city of Fira to the coastal village of Oia. The path takes you past the village of Imerovigli, which features Cycladic-built homes and structures and the monastery of St. Nicholas--the Firostefani.
Continue your tour passing the iconic Prophet Elias chapels--an Orthodox chapel that sits atop a mountain and offers picturesque views of the surrounding villages and skyline. You'll take a break here with your group to enjoy a picnic for lunch. Continue your hike down the path that leads you to way. Get your camera ready for Insta-worthy pictures of the views of Thirasia island afar as you approach Oia. Enjoy the 360-degree views of the nearby villages, seaside and more as you watch the sunset from the hilltop.
