This hike starts in Imerovigli with breathtaking views of the caldera and Oia. The trail then leads towards the island’s northern coast, descending steadily until you reach the remote side of Santorini. Along the way, you’ll pass countless fig trees heavy with ripe fruit – a perfect natural snack to keep your energy up. The final stretch requires extra attention, as part of the route runs alongside a busy road, but it remains fully manageable with care. Your effort is rewarded at the end: Koloumpo Beach, a hidden gem with black volcanic sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for a refreshing swim before continuing your journey back towards Oia. A scenic and rewarding detour that combines stunning landscapes, authentic island nature, and a dip in one of Santorini’s most beautiful beaches.
