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

1. Walking From Fira to Oia

The most effective point to do in Santorini is the walk from Fira to Oia.

This is the single best thing to do on Santorini-- and it's cost-free! The views are amazing. The hike takes someplace between 2 as well as 5 hrs depending on your speed and the number of photos you quit to take along the method. Beginning in Fira and also relocate north with Firostefani and after that Imerovigli (this component of the path really feels even more like a village pathway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mainly country course, with only a few shops or dining establishments. Most people will certainly wish to use a tough running shoe for the walk yet I've certainly seen individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't entirely significant yet it's rather user-friendly: remain on the course that complies with the side of the caldera as well as walk north (when doubtful keep to the left/west). Obviously, it's fine to do the walk in the contrary instructions but it feels extra all-natural (to me) to walk north to Oia and also the island's idea. And also walking into Oia from capitals over is an awesome coating. If it's July or August I 'd very suggest beginning before 8am.

2. Sunset, Caldera, and also Volcano Boat Tour

Do two wonderful tasks in one watercraft scenic tour: stroll the volcano and swim in the thermal springs. Be sure to obtain a scenic tour that takes in the sunset as well. There are likewise scenic tour options that check out Thirassia (a little populated island that creates part of the caldera ring with Santorini) as well as Red and Black beach. Boats typically depart from Vlychada Marina at the Santorini daily tour south of the island, or from Ammoudi Bay below Oia, and also the majority of tours use hotel pickup to obtain you to the boat. All the scenic tour companies are legit so purchase the excursion that fits your requirements best regarding timing, interests, as well as transport.

3. Santorini Vineyard Trip

Santorini white wine is fantastic, the vineyards are attractive, and also the people are incredibly pleasant.

A Santorini a glass of wine scenic tour is the most effective way of checking out greater than one vineyard.

4. Jet Ski Scenic Tour To The Volcano

One of the most adventurous as well as fun thing to do in Santorini: Jet Ski To The Volcano

A remarkably enjoyable and also unique method of seeing the caldera. There are various excursions that go various places-- all leave from Perivolos in the south of the island. The quickest tour (" South Trip") gos to close-by Red Coastline as well as White Coastline and also lasts concerning 90 mins. The medium-length (" Volcano Trip", 140 minutes) copulates into the caldera and also picks up a swim in the hot springs by the volcano. The longest tour (" Extreme Volcano Trip", 200 mins) takes the volcano trip as well as includes Thirassia as well as Ammoudi Bay. The tours that enter into the caldera are rather intense as well as the waves can be big. It's a difficult task however super fun. My child has done the volcano scenic tour when he was 14 and 15 years old (that's him in the photo) and also considers it among one of the most fun points we have actually ever done. Personnel are friendly, useful, as well as really safety aware. There's a motorboat with the scenic tour the entire way so if somebody requires a break they can change to the watercraft and one of the team will certainly ride the jet ski. I love the watercraft trips of the caldera however this takes it to another level-- the high cliffs are just right there! The same firm additionally does parasailing, tubing, and water skiing.
