About this tour
This walk covers the quieter stretch of the caldera path through Imerovigli, between the busier towns of Fira and Oia. Eirini shows the clifftop path with far fewer people on it before pointing out Skaros Rock, the bare outcrop that once held a Venetian fortress. She explains why the fortress was abandoned centuries ago.
Eirini checks her connection at the start of the path before walking at an easy pace, noting how the crowds thin compared to other parts of the caldera walk. She answers questions about Skaros as she goes. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers who want caldera views without the busiest crowds. It also works well as a calmer alternative to the full Fira to Oia walk.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
