Fira to Oia Hiking Trail
Μονοπάτι Φηρά–Οία
A roughly 10 km trail from Fira to Oia along the caldera rim, linking Firostefani, Imerovigli and Skaros Rock.
This trail follows the western rim of the caldera north from Fira to Oia. It covers about 10 km and takes roughly 3 to 4 hours one way. The first half passes the Three Bells Church and clifftop cafés in Firostefani, and the hotel terraces of Imerovigli, mostly on paved stone paths. Beyond Imerovigli the trail enters rolling dirt tracks and gravel slopes, and the views open up dramatically. On one side are deep blue bays and volcanic islands, and on the other are the island's eastern fields and the sea. There is almost no shade along the way, so bring plenty of water, sun protection and non-slip shoes. Refreshment stops are few. It is best to set off in the afternoon, arrive in Oia at sunset, and then take the bus back to Fira.
