This is the single ideal thing to do on Santorini-- and also it's cost-free! The views are unbelievable.

The path isn't totally significant however it's fairly intuitive: stay on the course that adheres to the side of the caldera and stroll north (when doubtful remain to the left/west). Naturally, it's fine to do the stroll in the opposite instructions yet it feels much more all-natural (to me) to walk north to Oia and the island's pointer. And walking into Oia from capitals over is an incredible surface. If it's July or August I 'd extremely advise starting before 8am.
