View Over the Caldera

By Linda Tancs

Oia is a coastal town on the northwestern tip of Santorini, a Greek Aegean island. Arguably, it’s the island’s most famous cliffside village and certainly one of the most visited, sporting whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and breathtaking sunsets. The scene stealer, though, is probably the view over the caldera, given that the picturesque hamlet is built along its rim. One of the best hikes is the 6-mile Fira to Oia Caldera Trail. Start from Fira for an overall downhill walk. The path is a mix of paved, pedestrian streets and dirt hiking trails.
