Caldera Hike: Fira to Oia

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 pick up 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 chapel–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. From panoramic views of the Aegean Sea to a serene hike down an authentic mule path, there’s much this exciting hiking tour has to offer.

This travel agency has ruined me for all other vacations. I don't think I'll ever be able to plan another trip on my own! They made everything so easy and stress-free that I felt like a celebrity. The best part? Finally being able to wear all those fancy vacation clothes I never have the occasion to wear at home! Thank you, Mythesia, for the best vacation of my life!"

Due to my busy work schedule, I find it difficult to plan my vacations in advance. As my wedding anniversary was approaching, I was worried about finding suitable accommodation in Greece during the busy month of July. However, we were fortunate to come across Mythesia who provided us with an excellent solution! Their trip designers created a custom itinerary for us, featuring lesser-known Greek islands that are not typically frequented by foreign tourists. The entire trip was flawlessly planned, and my wife and I particularly enjoyed the private sailing cruise with our captain, Alexandros. We would never have been able to arrange such a remarkable trip on short notice without the assistance of the team at Mythesia.
