Walking holidays in Santorini

The stunning island of Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in Greece. Santorini is famous for its volcano, which created the island's shape and features through a huge eruption thousands of years ago. The top activity on Santorini is to walk the caldera edge and take in the stunning views. At night, the pretty whitewashed buildings on the cliff look beautiful with sunset views over the Aegean Sea.

Why choose a Santorini hike?

Santorini is home to various scenic walking routes suitable for all types of travellers. At Ramble Worldwide, we offer a self-guided walking tour where you travel around Naxos and then to Santorini.

On this walking trip, you can explore the colourful cliffs of this ancient volcanic island and the whitewashed villages perched on top. The perfect walking holiday that experiences a vast mixture of villages, vineyards and stunning caldera.

The walking tour includes stops in Perissa and Akrotiri, and also includes the famous walk from Fira to Oia. Your route follows a well-maintained mule path, offering breathtaking views of the lagoon and the dramatic, sheer cliffs.
