Santorini Trail 07 - Megalochori - Plaka

This short route takes the hikers from Megalochori to the "Heart of Santorini" and down to the sea level, where encircled by the walls of the caldera lie the abandoned thermal baths of Plaka.

Covering just 1.4 km, this is a gentle outing perfect for families or beginners. Allow roughly 19 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. The trail is officially waymarked as 07, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
