Santorini: Caldera Trail Guided Hike and Sunset Viewing

1.Santorini: Caldera Trail Guided Hike and Sunset Viewing

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 110 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $229Our pick

Walk nearly 10 kilometers from Fira through Firostefani and Imerovigli toward Oia, with caldera views, churches, Skaros Rock, local plants, and a picnic stop. Guides such as Panos, Sophia, Lea, and Wendy add island history and help with the rougher sections. The sunset ends the hike from a hilltop viewpoint away from Oia’s busiest crowds.

“Our guide, Wendy was great!! It was a hot day so all the other participants canceled. My daughter and I had a private tour of the island! She explained much of the history of how the island formed and the various volcanic eruptions through the centuries. She taught us about the churches and how they are run and maintained by families. We had a delicious smoothie and yogurt snack and continued on out of the city on a quiet nature trail to our final spot alongside a church for the sunset. Wendy was friendly, accommodating and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed this activity!”

Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos

4.Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57Best guided

You’ll hike about 10 km from Monolithos village down to a remote red-sand bay, then climb to Monolithos Castle for sunset. Manuela has led this outing, which includes hotel or apartment pickup, private transfers, hiking equipment, bottled water, and a maximum group of 10. Expect heat, uneven ground, and a solid uphill finish.

“Our group was just me and my hubby with Manuela. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel. The drive to our starting point was ok. Then we hiked for about 9 km: down to a beautiful beach and then back up to Monolithos to see the sunset. The weather was hot but we had enough breaks to make sure we were hydrated. The beach was really nice. And the sunset was amazing. I recommend this but make sure you have good shoes and you are in relatively good shape. Hiking up and down mountains in hot weather is not for everyone. But we really enjoyed this!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $72

Join a private three-hour hike from Liapades with guide George or another local leader.

Expect a swim stop, local olive farming stories, village lanes, walking sticks, water, and a sunset viewpoint.

“We had an incredible hike with George which was definitely the highlight of our trip to Corfu. We started in the traditional hillside village of Liapades, winding our way along a picturesque trail through the trees with incredible views of the coastline and some gorgeous quiet beaches. George was so knowledgeable and really made it fun for us. A highlight was a (chilly!) swim at the deserted beach of Limni just below an abandoned villa, and watching the sunset from a rocky outcrop. 10/10 would recommend.”

Pickup and free photos are available, depending on the option you choose.

“Our guide, Konstantinos, communicated with me a day ahead to confirm time and specific info for pick up. He was right on time. It was nice to take the short car ride and get out of the city for the evening. The hike was not difficult and Konstantinos stopped multiple times to point out different plants along the way and told us some history as well. He also took pictures of us at different locations which was very nice since we rarely get pictures with the whole family. The sunset was absolutely beautiful! The hike after the sunset to get back to the car was short and there was plenty…”
