Hala says

Combine with a morning at Akrotiri (the archaeological site) and you have a better Santorini day-trip than the bus to Oia. The walk hugs the coast, the cliffs run through every shade of volcanic red and black, the swim at the end is the reward. There's currently a small landslide risk on the final descent, so check the local advisories the day of. Closed shoes, hat, two litres of water.
