The trek is fairly simple but it takes between 2 and 5 hours. Be sure to start early before it gets too hot.

Many people flock to Oia watch the sunset but really there is no bad view here – find a spot anywhere on the caldera and watch the magic.

About a dozen local vineyards host tastings and it’s a fun and easy way to see the island away from the caldera.

Pyrgos is built on a hill with an old castle on top. Emborio is flat and smaller, but both offer plenty of opportunities to get happily lost.
