A local would say...

The caldera walk from Fira takes two hours — arrive at Oia exactly at sunset, having walked the edge of a sleeping volcano.

The most photographed village in the Cyclades — perched on the northern tip of Santorini's caldera rim, with whitewashed houses and blue domes cascading down dramatic cliffs above the 300m caldera drop. The village is famous for the world's most-watched sunset, but the caldera walk from Fira to Oia along the rim path, passing through Firostefani and Imerovigli, offers continuous views of the volcanic landscape that no photograph can fully capture.
