A local would say...

Walk the rim of a volcano that once destroyed a civilisation — the Minoans below, the white houses above, and nothing between you and the blue.

The dramatic 10km walk along the sheer caldera edge connecting Fira to Oia, with the cliffs plunging hundreds of meters to the submerged volcanic crater. Created by one of the largest eruptions in recorded history circa 1613 BC, the views across the caldera are extraordinary at any hour. Best done in early morning before tour groups arrive.
