Santorini guided tours: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

1. Walking From Fira to Oia

The very best thing to do in Santorini is the hike from Fira to Oia.

This is the solitary best thing to do on Santorini-- and also it's cost-free! The sights are amazing. The walking takes someplace between 2 as well as 5 hrs depending upon your rate and also the amount of photos you quit to take along the means. Beginning in Fira and also move north through Firostefani and afterwards Imerovigli (this part of the path feels even more like a village walkway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mostly country path, with just a few stores or restaurants. Many people will intend to wear a durable running shoe for the stroll however I have actually absolutely seen individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't totally significant however it's relatively user-friendly: stay on the course that complies with the side Santorini daily tour of the caldera and stroll north (when in doubt keep to the left/west). Naturally, it's great to do the stroll in the opposite instructions but it feels extra all-natural (to me) to walk north to Oia as well as the island's suggestion. And also walking into Oia from capitals over is an outstanding surface. If it's July or August I 'd extremely recommend starting before 8am.

2. Sunset, Caldera, and also Volcano Boat Scenic Tour

Do two fantastic tasks in one watercraft tour: stroll the volcano and also swim in the thermal springs. Be sure to obtain a trip that absorbs the sunset also.

Watercrafts usually depart from Vlychada Marina at the south of the island, or from Ammoudi Bay listed below Oia, and a lot of trips provide hotel pickup to obtain you to the watercraft. All the scenic tour firms are reputable so acquire the excursion that matches your needs best as far as timing, passions, and also transport.

4. Jet Ski Scenic Tour To The Volcano

The most daring as well as enjoyable point to do in Santorini: Jet Ski To The Volcano

A hugely fun and unique way of seeing the caldera. There are different Santorini best tours tours that go various places-- all leave from Perivolos in the south of the island. The shortest scenic tour (" South Trip") brows through neighboring Red Coastline and also White Coastline and also lasts concerning 90 mins. The medium-length (" Volcano Tour", 140 minutes) copulates right into the caldera and also picks up a swim in the thermal springs by the volcano. The longest trip (" Extreme Volcano Trip", 200 minutes) takes the volcano excursion as well as adds Thirassia and also Ammoudi Bay.

My boy has actually done the volcano trip when he was 14 and 15 years of ages (that's him in the photo) and also considers it one of one of the most enjoyable things we have actually ever done. Staff get along, handy, and extremely safety and security mindful. There's a motorboat with the tour the entire way so if someone requires a break they can switch over to the boat and also one of the personnel will ride the jet ski. I enjoy the watercraft tours of the caldera but this takes it to another degree-- the cliffs are ideal there! The same firm also does windsurfing, tubing, as well as water snowboarding.
