Santorini Free Day
Today explore Santorini based on your own particular interests and pace. Santorini is gifted with a unique natural beauty and wild scenery created by volcanic eruptions. As it is extremely famous for the beautiful caldera, the island is also known for the two small islands of black lava positioned at the centre of the basin of Santorini which are, geographically, the youngest islets in the Eastern Mediterranean. Nea Kameni especially is a pole of attraction for its healing hot springs. The yellow waters there contain a large amount of sulfur and are renowned for their therapeutic purposes. Kamari is a cosmopolitan beach resort on the southeast of Santorini, which has been awarded the Blue Flag. The long stretch of beach lies under the impressive mountain of Mesa Vouno. The water is deep and blue, the sand is black. A stone-paved promenade runs parallel to the beach and stretches across the crescent moon-shaped bay. This is closed off to traffic during the summer months. You may also wish to visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri. Like the Roman ruins of Pompeii, the remains of the Minoan town of Akrotiri are remarkably well-preserved. The settlement was all but obliterated in the middle of the second millennium BC, when the volcano it sat upon, Thera, erupted, and its inhabitants fled.
Meals: Breakfast
Hiking Santorini's Caldera
The Fira-Oia Hike is a highlight of visiting Santorini. It takes you along the caldera cliff and through the villages of Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Oia. The hike takes between 2 and 5 hours depending on how fast you walk and how often you stop. If you do a side trip to Skaros Rock it will add at least an hour. The hiking trail from Fira to Oia is just under 10.5km (6.5 miles). Part of the path is similar to a sidewalk, parts are cobblestone, and parts are dirt trails. Your guide will be happy to adjust the duration and the pace of the walk to your preferences.

Uncultivated, pure , and wild but also quite busy during the high season, it’s mostly quiet, especially compared to some of the other beaches on the island. As there are no sunbeds or umbrellas here, you have all the beach for yourselves.
