If you want to enjoy magnificent viewpoints of the island and the caldera, you should hike from Fira to Oia.
A 9-km long marked trail on the edge of the caldera connects the 2 cities. You will stop many times to take beautiful pictures, as the view is just breathtaking! It’s clearly one of Santorini’s best points of interest.
This marked trail is a little bit challenging but not really difficult, even if the weather can get really hot on sunny days. So, it’s better to hike in the morning. You can for example plan your walk to arrive in Oia for lunch.
From Fira, you will reach Oia in about 2 hours. You should however plan a bit more time, as you will for sure stop a few times on the way to enjoy the panorama and take pictures.
