Our guide, Panos, was AMAZING! This was the best activity we did on vacation. His communication with us was timely and he was very responsive to any of our questions. He even recommended a great place for dinner afterwards!

Santorini hike-Fira to Oia

dmmanners, Sep 2025

Panos was an excellent guide. The walk from Fira to Oia was a great way to experience Santorini. The hike was a little more adventurous than we expected, but the views were amazing. Panos stopped along the way to give us some history and information about the island. He also gave us the opportunity to finish the trip to Oia via a van, which we did. He helped us explore Oia and helped us return to Fira. Even though we didn’t complete the hike we were glad that we booked this tour!

The best way to see Santorini

Mitchell_W, Sep 2025

My wife and I absolutely loved our hike from Fira to Oia with Panos. He was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great insights about the island. Having a local guide made the experience so much richer, with stories and tips we’d never have discovered on our own. The views were breathtaking, and Panos made sure the pace was perfect for us. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini!

worth the $

Fabulous hike with best guide, Panos!

Michele_G, Jun 2025

Panos is a fabulous guide. He was very accommodating to take our time and go slowly. He is committed to help you enjoy and appreciate the beauty and experience instead of hurrying to get done at a specific time. Panos true passion for his work. He brought water and snacks to the halfway point in advance for our group of 9 so that we could rest and recover. The hike is challenging but well worth the effort. Beautiful views of the Caldera. This is a not to be missed experience in itself but traveling with Panos made it extra special.

Sensational Caldera Action

David_C, May 2025

A fabulous hike from Firasophina to Oia. We were expertly guided by George, who was a wealth of information, genuine and kind. The views were incredible and at a moderate grade, a very doable track over 3 hours long. A must do when in Santorini.

George was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and he became our friend at the end!! He allowed us to take our time and enjoy the views. Certain points of the hike were a little treacherous so wear appropriate shoes. Highly recommend this tour. The views are breathtaking.

Our tour guide Panos catered our hike to our preferences. We hiked the gorgeous 7 mile path Fira to Oia. He gave us so much insight and knowledge about the history of Santorini’s Caldera! You must do this hike to appreciate this gorgeous volcanic island even more!

Awesome activity to spend a half day in Santorini!!

Crossing the path from Fira to Oia was a very good decision.The views are breathtaking, and you can see everything from another point of view.The path is easy to medium.Get your hat and prefer shoes instead of flip flops. All these great things become greater with this cool guy Panos!! Very positive and nice energy full of smile. He likes what he does!! I totally recommend!! Thanks for the experience Panos and keep enjoying life!! Peace and love ✌️

Hiking in Santorini with Panos – A Must-Do Experience

Emmanouil_S, Mar 2025

Hiking in Santorini with Panos was an unforgettable experience. He led us along the breathtaking Fira-to-Oia trail, sharing local history, myths, and hidden gems along the way. The views of the caldera were stunning, and his passion for the island made the journey even more special. The pace was perfect, with plenty of stops for photos and stories. If you want an authentic, scenic, and well-guided hike in Santorini, Panos is the guide to choose!

Perfect hike!

Lisa_C, Mar 2025

Had a wonderful half day hiking with Arsenios as my guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything Santorini! Panos, was also very helpful and communicative regarding timing and was very helpful through the entire process. I highly recommend! I was even given water and snacks along the way. We stopped and rested when I needed and Arsenios also took photos for me, as I was hiking alone. I highly recommend !!!!
