Joe taking a break on our hike from Fira to the town of Oia, approximately 8 miles along the edge of the volcano from our hotel. We made it about halfway before surrendering to the mid-day heat and hitch-hiking back to town to catch a bus. That's the town of Thirasia on the opposite side of the caldera in the background.

Ed on the path from Thira to Oia. Stunning views of the volcano. You can see the continuation of the trail in the background.

The town of Oia at the tip of the crescent-shaped island of Santorini. We tried hiking the path along the volcano but gave up after about 4 miles in the mid-day heat.
