Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 233 out of 235 hikers
We did the tour on September 19, 2019 from Oia to Thira, which is exactly the opposite of the usual direction. The hike is highly recommended. The sea view is fantastic. Depending on the situation, you need about 4-5 hours including small stops to take photos and enjoy the view.
Make sure to wear better shoes, no flip-flops. Around Thira everything is flat and partly even paved, but the first third of the path at Oia goes over rocks, gravel and sometimes steeper climbs.
Be sure to take sunscreen and something to drink with you. There are few opportunities to buy water along the way. The sun bangs down mercilessly and the constant wind does not make you feel like your skin is burning.
