The volcanic paths and cobblestone streets can be uneven—opt for shoes with good grip.

Sun Protection is Key

Bring sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses for comfort during summer tours under the open sky.

Plan for Traffic

Popular spots like Oia can get crowded during peak hours; starting early or late can mean quieter experiences.
