Hike from Fira to Oia

This is the famous hike that is highly-rated in travel guides and tripadvisor. This hike is best taken early in the morning or late in the evening before the sun gets too hot. About 10% of the hike is through the villages; the rest 90% are on hiking trails. The trails will bring you up hill and down hill and up hill and down hill ...(you get it). Bring your own refreshments as there are no pit stops along the way. We only saw 2 cafés (1 near Pantheon villas, but was closed. The other one was beside the road -see pic below).

I'll let the photos speak about the hike... 

Skaros Rock - At the start of the journey as we were staying in Firostefani

Imerovigli Village in sight

Just passed Imerovigli and full hiking trail ahead

Looking back to see how far we have climbed

Great view of the sea at the other side (non-caldera)

Walking by the cliff side

Cafe!

Looking back once again. We climbed up & down the mountain at the left.

In case you are bored with trails, there are steps along the way as well.

Yes, up the hill.

The husband remarked that when you feel super tired along the way, there's always a church in sight to provide you a glimmer of hope.

Finally! Oia in sight
