This walk was absolutely beautiful. We were only in Santorini for one day as part of a cruise but really wanted to complete this hike. We realized we could cut the walking time in half while still enjoying the amazing views by taking the Fira-Oia bus to the bus stop circled in the photos (closest stop to Oia). We just asked the bus driver/ticket seller to drop us off at that stop. From there you walk up the road a bit then meet up with the hiking path. We made it to Oia in about 1.5 hours taking frequent breaks for pictures. There were some portions that were rocky inclines but they didn’t last too long. Just make sure you have good shoes, sunscreen, and lots of water. If you want to see the views but are scared about the hiking portion or are pressed for time I would definitely recommend taking the bus some of the way. We’ll never forget this, so happy we got to do it!

This was an awesome way to see the island. If you do this hike, there is no way you won't feel like you didn't experience all of Santorini afterward. But keep in mind that this is a relatively strenuous hike, which I did not feel was advertised (lol). I would make sure to bring your most comfortable sneakers and pack water, sunscreen, and snacks with you! There is a range of terrain starting from walking through towns, gravel streets, and walking on loose rocks. I would consider myself to be a fit person and this was my most active day ever recorded on my apple watch haha. Definitely go as early in the morning as possible and enjoy lunch afterward!

Excellent walk on variety of paths ranging from stunning marble to loose volcanic ash. A section of path is by permission only and photography is not allowed. It overlooks a villa used by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!. Steep in places and good footwear is essential.

So not the traditional way of celebrating your 40th birthday but definitely a memorable one! I cannot recommend this walk enough. As I was staying in Oia I did it from Oia to Fira. As it was spring it wasn’t so hot and I began at about 11:30. The walk is breathtaking, all you need is comfy shoes (as some parts have gravel and slippery because of rain), a camera and water. it is a moderate hike. But one of my highlights on the island. Cannot recommend enough

The hike from Fira to Oia was my favorite thing we did in Greece. It can be challenging, not so much because of the terrain, but rather because it is long and there is not much shade. We hiked toward Oia so we could see the sunset. Note: When you descend into Oia and feel excited to complete the hike, you still have to walk at least an hour if you want to go to the far end to see the sunset.

The views are spectacular and it's free. You'll come across all of the most photographed areas of Fira and Oia. You'll walk through some of the main streets and also some fairly remote areas where the footpaths, although clearly marked, consists of rocks and stones so you will need good comfortable software. Once there you can get the bus back to Fira for around 1.60 and they seem to put on an additional last bus so that they have capacity to take everyone back.

This will be one of the best things you will ever do. The scenary is unbelieveable. It will take you about 4 hours from Fira to Oia. This seems to be the most well marked trail and I sense the easier direction. I would definitely recommend some form of hiking shoes or very good walking shoes, no sandles/flip flops thats for sure. I'd say 1/3 of it is not paved walkway but loose dirt and rocks. There are no bathrooms along the way and only a few stands where locals may sell drinks/snacks. There are some resorts if they are nice enough, they might let you in for a W.C. break. Lastly, we did this in mild weather. I can't imagine trying to do this in middle of summer.

Perfect walk on a perfect day. Not overly hot and stunning views from Fira till arrival in Oia. Not a bad idea to carry some water as this trip will take the better part of 3 hours.

This was probably the highlight of our time in Santorini. It was a great hike. Take your time & enjoy the scenery & wonderful views. Plenty of photo opportunities. Take lots of water, wear a sun hat, sun cream & good shoes. We are in our 60’s, reasonably fit & managed the hike with energy enough to explore Oia when we got there! We loved it!

This took us around 2hrs 40 mins . We really enjoyed this. Wear good sturdy shoes as the paths are hard and rocky, take water and enjoy the scenery, it will all be worth it when you reach Oia. We headed for a cool drink and bite to eat when we arrived then we were ready to explore Oia. We got the bus back to Fira which cost 1 euro 60 each. Recommend.
