Detailed Description

Santorini is a volcanic island, offering a fascinating variety of walking surfaces. In many cases there are rocky steps, and the terrain is occasionally steep or uneven. The ground ranges from soft soil to big rocks, and from black sand to light pumice. Our tours are not suitable for people with walking difficulties, strollers and wheelchairs.

How difficult are santorini walking tours?
Our tours are conducted at a comfortable pace and cover anywhere between 4 to 10 kilometres (2.5 to 6 miles). They are of low to moderate difficulty, and the elevation gain ranges anywhere between 100 to 400 meters (330 to 1300 feet). They are all geared towards the average active traveller and are designed to be relaxing yet dynamic. While we could shorten them if need be, you will enjoy them more if you have a moderate level of fitness.
