We hiked Imerovigli to Oia with friends on a beautiful May day. It was breath taking and worth sweating a little for. Just make sure you drink water and stop a few times to take in the views and natural beauty. When you arrive in Oia, sit at a cliffside cafe and have a few beers to reward your efforts.

My 19 year old niece and I just completed the hike from Fira to Oia. The hotel told us it was a two hour walk, but I knew from reading these posts that they were really underestimating the time. In fact, one of the most frequent phrases uttered on our hike was, "Two hours, my [--]!" It was a great... More

This is a great way to see something more then the towns, amazing view and you will catch up some nice things on your way. Try to plan your trip so you can see the sun go down in Oia (if you can take some heat on the way), otherwise you should go early in the morning. We actually went... More

Despite anything negative I have to say is hike was 110% worth it and so much fun. My mom and I did the hike on a sunny day in mid May. We are both pretty fit and young but it was a challenge!! There are many jagged rocks or loose gravel so you are forced to go very slow and... More

We walked from Fira, passed thru Firostefani and to Oia for 5 hours. I suggest to do it in the afternoon and catch the sunset in Oia. Our muscles were aching for 2 days after the hike. When you look thru the map, we basically walked half of the santorini island. Not for me but I suggest it to the... More

The distance is about 15 km and it is better to star early in the morning, with shoes for long time walking, water with you and do not try it when there is very hot in high season. It is hard but worth the price to have this experiance. From this year is possible also to do a part of... More

This single-handedly defined our trip to Greece. The hike was unforgettable, and it was daunting at first to figure out where to start. True enough, you really just go straight and follow the path all the way, even if the road looks like it's about to end. We detoured a little each time we thought the road came to an... More

I have to start out by saying that we walked from our hotel in Imerovigli to Oia. If you are starting out from Fira, add another 40 minutes or so to my times. I also need to say that I did this hike the day after my 50th birthday. So, i'm no spring chicken and I'm no athlete and if... More

We went on this 3.5 hours hike with the family. The hike was not too difficult and fun for all of us. Make sure you take plenty of water as there is only one small juice stand about half-way through the hike. This was nice because the juice was freshly squeezed and tasted great. We did the hike in early... More
