For the inaugural visit to Greece in celebration of my parents' 50th anniversary, we opted for this particular hike due to the highly recommended caldera vistas along its trails. The scenery and panoramic views proved to be absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide, Sophia Mpougioukou, was incredibly sweet and attentive, taking excellent care of my family. Given that my parents are in their 70s, the hike presented a strenuous challenge for them. However, Sophia vigilantly looked after their well-being throughout the entire excursion, even offering them walking sticks, which proved to be indispensable, especially in rugged and demanding terrain. This unforgettable experience will stay with us forever, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return in the future.

Our tour included transportation to and from the hike from Thira to Oia and meeting up with everyone was very easy. I would recommend this hike to visitors who are in fairly decent shape and are used to walking on a mixture of paved and gravel paths. Essential to dress for the weather and have proper hiking shoes on for traction. The scenery along the trail was incredible as we passed from urban areas to trails and back to more urban areas. The sunset at the church we stopped at was beautiful and our tour guides were very knowledgable in terms of the history of Santorini and Greece. I would highly recommend this hike for visitors capable of walking 5 or 6 miles at a decent pace.

I had arranged a small-group hike from Fira to Oia through the Travel Agency we used. The driver picked me up promptly at 4pm at the pick-up point (yes, only me) and drove me to the hike starting point in Fira, where I met Sofia, who would accompany me on the 10-11 km hiking trail to Oia. First, she offered me a choice of sandwiches from the place where we met. Sofia was a great guide - she matched my pace exactly, she answered all of my questions patiently and completely, and was all-in-all a great companion on the hike. We stopped at a beautiful spot along the way while I ate my sandwich. When we finished, the driver picked us up and drove us back to the starting point. I heartily recommend using this tour operator, and consider yourself lucky if Sofia is your hiking companion !
