10 Things Everyone Hates About Santorini guided tours

1. Hike From Fira to Oia

The best thing to do in Santorini is the walk 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 between 2 and also 5 hours depending on your rate and how many pictures you quit to bring the way. Beginning in Fira as well as relocate north via Firostefani and after that Imerovigli (this component of the course really feels even more like a town walkway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a largely rural course, with only a few shops or restaurants. The majority of people will intend to wear a tough running footwear for the stroll yet I've certainly seen private Santorini tours individuals do it in flip flops. The route isn't totally marked however it's rather user-friendly: stay on the course that adheres to the edge of the caldera as well as stroll north (when unsure keep to the left/west). Obviously, it's fine to do the stroll in the contrary instructions however it really feels extra all-natural (to me) to stroll north to Oia as well as the island's idea. And also strolling right into Oia from the hills above is an amazing surface. If it's July or August I 'd highly suggest beginning prior to 8am.

2. Sunset, Caldera, and Volcano Boat Trip

Do 2 fantastic activities in one boat trip: stroll the volcano as well as swim in the hot springs. Be sure to get an excursion that takes in the sunset also. There are likewise tour options that check out Thirassia (a little booming island that develops part of the caldera ring with Santorini) and also Red and Black coastline. Boats typically depart from Vlychada Marina at the south of the island, or from Ammoudi Bay listed below Oia, as well as the majority of scenic tours offer resort pickup to obtain you to the watercraft. All the tour business are genuine so buy the tour that suits your requirements best regarding timing, interests, and transportation.

3. Santorini Winery Scenic Tour

A Santorini white wine scenic tour is the best way of exploring more than one vineyard.

4. Jet Ski Scenic Tour To The Volcano

The most daring and also enjoyable point to do in Santorini: Jet Ski To The Volcano

A remarkably fun as well as distinct way of seeing the caldera. There are different scenic tours that go various locations-- all leave from Perivolos in the south of the island. The shortest trip (" South Trip") check outs close-by Red Beach as well as White Beach and lasts concerning 90 mins. The medium-length (" Volcano Trip", 140 minutes) copulates into the caldera as well as picks up a swim in the thermal springs by the volcano. The longest excursion (" Extreme Volcano Trip", 200 mins) takes the volcano excursion and includes Thirassia and also Ammoudi Bay. The excursions that enter into the caldera are quite extreme and also the waves can be big. It's a demanding task but extremely fun. My kid has done the volcano excursion when he was 14 and 15 years old (that's him in the picture) and also considers it one of one of the most fun points we've ever done. Personnel are friendly, practical, and very security aware. There's a motorboat with the tour the entire means so if a person requires a break they can change to the boat and also one of the personnel will ride the jet ski. I like the boat trips of the caldera but this takes it to one more level-- the cliffs are just right there! The same firm also does parasailing, tubes, and also water skiing.
