Fira to Oia hike : Detailed guide on how NOT TO GET LOST [from start to end]

Many of you will do the famous "Fira to Oia" hike (aka "Caldera Trail") when in Santorini. It's easy to get lost however, since there aren't many indications. But this video is here to help :-)

A fabulous hike thanks to Sebastian, it’s definitely not a walk but it was made a lot easier with your guidance and good humour. As a group of 7 we all agreed that it was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. We highly recommend this hike, it’s not too hard if your reasonably fit.
Your the knowledge of the local area, the history and all your tips on how to get around Santorini made our holiday memorable.
We’ll catch you next time !

This just put a big smile on my face. I stayed at Xenones Filotera in May which is around 5:45 in this video and I walked to fira and back many times using that same trail. Its really refreshed my memory. Thank You

6:17 Thank you for this detailed instructions. We really enjoyed this hike last week and as i am massively afraid of hights, the tipp, to turn right to an easier way on this one specific spot saved me from getting in trouble on this beautiful route. 🙏🏻

At the beginning of June it was about 23 degrees on the island and the hike at 2:00 p.m. was possible without any problems. In addition, there were still pleasantly few tourists there! 😊

Santorini ist one of the most beautiful island I‘ve been so far. I look forward to go back there some day. 😍

OHHHH… SO happy to know about the bus stop to OIA, where you start walking along the highway. YOU provide us with IMPORTANT information for our planning! Thank you!

Thank you Sebastian. Your channel is extremely underrated and a must subscription for anyone who is planning to visit Santorini. It is so much more useful and informative than the professional “travel vloggers”.

Sebastian we followed along with your video every step of the way. Your videos are epic and we saw many others using it as their guide. Thank you for making it and sharing it. You are wonderful!

[carlalatraveler]

I had so many questions and doubts until I started watching your videos. Thank you!!

[edyst]

As a trail runner, I see no other option than doing it tomorrow! Thank you Sebastian for the really useful video!

[imaneelghoudani]

Thank you Sebastian, I cannot believe how easy was the hike after watching this video. Ur channel is amazing and very informative. We managed to do the hike ( my daughter and I) and I felt so confident about it after watching this video. We did it and it was GREAT. Thank you once again

[varadew]

Thank you so much for the helpful video! It made our hike today from Fira to Oia much easier and less stressful. My wife and I are grateful for this video and your other videos, which have made our stay in Santorini so much better!

Wow, Wow, wow. This is invaluable information. This video really put the "hike" into perspective for me. I was worried that I would not be able to enjoy much of the food in Greece. Clearly, I'm going to get one hell of a workout walking around for 4 days and especially on this hike. I can't wait for my trip in a few months. I look forward to seeing you in Athens in September 23' Sebastian as we just booked your Night Walking tour.

ευχαριστώ Sebastian.. I was in Santorini this week (March) and hiking from Fira to Oia based on your video.. I took a rest at St Markos church with a great view of both side of santorini coast (referring to your video at around the 6th min) as well as the church at the top if 3rd hill... it was sunshine and very windy but I enjoy it. And as it is a low season, I was completely alone hiking from Fira to Oia..

We are just back from Santorini. Sebastian's help was just fantastic. We had a lovely time. Thank you, Sebastian.

[bhalu]

Thank you so much! We did the hike yesterday, took us a bit over 2, 5h and your gudie was super helpful. I had downloaded your video beforehand and we knew exactly where to go and where to get our refreshment and where to take pictures - like a virtual guided tour 😊

[trektion]

Thank you Sebastian! We visited Santorini in June 2022 and used all your tips to get around. This video was a very nice reminder of our fantastic time in Santorini. I actually also did the Skaros rock hike during this hike while my family was waiting for me at that smoothie place :-) Thanks again!!! Pleasant memories relived :-)

[tantemine]

Thank you Sebastian for this video!
I did the hike on Monday and it was awesome! The view, the landscape and the feeling afterwards - WOW!
I rewatched your video during the hike - if not, I would have lost track after ordering a smoothie 😅
This hike was my favorite event on the isle!
Thank you also for your helpful videos about the public transport. Thanks to them I felt well prepared to drive by bus.

[torogoz]

I watched this video several times before doing this hike, it was SUPER helpful!!! Video is so well done, Thank you so much Sebastian!

[HNJChannel]

Thank you, Sabastian, for the fabulous guide through this hike. I feel as though I am actually on the trail. I am hoping to do it for real in 2023 when I visit Santorini.

[tamarabanks]

Thank you again Sebastion, this was on my list and I just crossed it off. My vertigo would not make it through those cliff hangers. I love your channel! Coming next week.

[lynnelabbe]

Great video! We just did this hike last week, it is off season now, not many people around, really enjoyed the walk! I feel winter is the best season to do this.
