Santorini Trail 02 - Mesa Gonia - Pyrgos - Emporio

This route ascends from Mesa Gonia to Pyrgos and descends towards Emporio to give the hiker beautiful views of the agricultural land that surrounds these settlements and great sights of the historic core and the traditional archtecture inside them.

Covering just 4.8 km, this is a gentle outing perfect for families or beginners. Allow roughly 1 hour and 4 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Follow the 02 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
