Santorini Adventure: A Journey To Peace

hrs Estimate Duration
OVERVIEW
Hike along the rim of the massive caldera that a violent volcanic eruption formed millennia ago and spend free time in at the Kamari Beach. The caldera is the largest in Europe and such a significant natural phenomenon that UNESCO declared it a World Geological Heritage site. As you hike around the edge of the caldera, starting at Imerovigli and heading towards Fira, you will be treated to enjoy sweeping views of the hauntingly beautiful, stark landscape. To enhance the experience, the guide will describe some of the legends associated with Santorini’s volcanic eruptions, in particular the one that supposedly caused the mythical city of Atlantis to disappear into the sea. The sights are equally photogenic in Fira, where white-washed houses built on the steep slope of the caldera. Feel free to admire the traditional Cycladic architecture and behold the remains of the 15th-century castle.
