This route connects the port of Korfos with the capital of Manolas, via an old cobblestone winding trail that covers 200m of elevation.
This route connects the settlement of Manolas with its sea gate, Korfos. This is a typical case of a port and a settlement that is secured at higher altitudes from raids of any kind. The wide staircase that stands between 2 white walls from the sea to the settlement was cobbled and its cementing was one of the first priorities of the settlement as the know-how of cement constructions reached this place. This staircase - 1 km in length - covers an altitude difference of almost 200 meters and once covered all the supply needs of probably all 3 settlements located on the island. There is no question of passability as the route runs entirely on cement cobblestones. At the port, the hiker can find taverns, although probably they won't be open until summer. This trail offers a unique view of the inside of the Caldera, the remains of the old volcano that used to integrate Thirasia and Santorini in a huge circular mountain, before it errupted.

Directions
There is no direct ferry connection from mainland Greece to Thirassia.
Access to the island is from Santorini. The distance is short and the Santorini - Thirasia route takes from approximately 10 to 45 minutes depending on the ferry and the port of departure.
There are 3 different ways to get to Thirassia:
From Athinios (Santorini's main port): This is the only way to get to Thirassia bringing along your car. One can take the local ferry or the Seajets liner (Andros Jet). The routes run several times a week.
From Ammoudi (port of Oia): The distance from Ammoudi to the port of Riva is the closest between Santorini and Thirasia. A local boat makes daily routes to Riva and Corfos.
From the old port of Fira (Mesa Gialos): To get from here to Thirassia you should contact one of the tourist agencies of Fira that organize excursions to the islands around Santorini.
For the final confirmation of the itineraries, the phone number of the Port Authority in Fira is 22860 22239 and the information numbers are 22860 29238, 29143.
