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

1. Walk From Fira to Oia

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

This is the single ideal thing to do on Santorini-- and it's free! The views are amazing. The walk takes somewhere in between 2 as well as 5 hours depending upon your rate as well as the number of pictures you quit to take along the method. Begin in Fira as well as relocate north via Firostefani and afterwards Imerovigli (this part of the course feels even more like a village walkway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mostly rural course, with just a couple of stores or restaurants. The majority of people will want to put on a tough running shoe for the stroll however I have actually certainly seen people do it in flip flops. The route isn't entirely marked but it's relatively user-friendly: remain on the course that follows the side of the caldera and stroll north (when doubtful stay to the left/west). Of course, it's great to do the walk in the opposite instructions yet it really feels a lot more natural (to me) to stroll north to Oia and also the island's pointer. As well as strolling into Oia from capitals above is an awesome finish. If it's July or August I 'd highly advise beginning before 8am.

2. Sunset, Caldera, and also Volcano Watercraft Tour

Do 2 great activities in one boat scenic tour: stroll the volcano as well as swim in the thermal springs. Make sure to get a trip that absorbs the sundown as well. There are likewise trip choices that visit Thirassia (a small inhabited island that develops component of the caldera ring with Santorini) and Red and also Black coastline. Boats typically depart from Vlychada Marina at the south of the island, or from Ammoudi Bay listed below Oia, and the majority of excursions offer resort pick-up to get you to the boat. All the excursion firms are legitimate so acquire the scenic tour that fits your demands best regarding timing, rate of interests, as well as transportation.

4. Jet Ski Tour To The Volcano

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

A hugely enjoyable and also unique means of seeing the caldera. There are various scenic tours that go various places-- all leave from Perivolos in the south of the island. The quickest scenic tour (" South Scenic tour") sees neighboring Red Beach and also White Coastline as well as lasts about 90 mins. The medium-length (" Volcano Excursion", 140 minutes) copulates into the caldera and picks up a swim in the warm springs by the volcano. The longest scenic tour (" Extreme Volcano Scenic Tour", 200 minutes) takes the volcano tour and also includes Thirassia and also Ammoudi Bay. The trips Santorini tours booking that go into the caldera are quite intense as well as the waves can be large. It's a difficult task yet super fun. My son has done the volcano excursion when he was 14 as well as 15 years of ages (that's him in the image) as well as considers it one of the most enjoyable things we have actually ever before done. Staff are friendly, valuable, and very security aware. There's a motorboat with the tour the entire way so if a person requires a break they can switch to the boat as well as among the team will ride the jet ski. I love the boat scenic tours of the caldera yet this takes it to another degree-- the high cliffs are just right there! The exact same business additionally does windsurfing, tubes, and water snowboarding.
