If you have booked to stay in a santorini resort far away from Fira don’t skip the chance to be the first place you will visit as soon as you land on this amazing island. Fira is the capital of Santorini and is located in the center of the island. It is one of the most famous spots in Santorini, which is why thousands of tourists visit it every day. In the summer, tourists flood the area of Fyra because there are many shops, taverns, cafes and much more.
In Fira we can find museums, churches, monuments, galleries and traditional old neighborhoods that highlight the Greek character of the island. Very close to Fira you will also find hotels, guesthouses and rooms for rent which we will recommend if you will only stay for three days on the island as they are centrally located or consider staying in a luxury Santorini resort so you can live the whole experience on another level.
In this particular area, you can also admire the old port, from where cruise ships depart and go around the island, offering you a unique and unforgettable experience. If you prefer walking you could walk to the old, small port among small shops which are 600 steps away. From the shore you can also take a small boat to take you on a tour of either the volcano, old and new Kameni, and Thirasia while many swear that the view from the caldera to the sea is breathtaking. The truth is that every spot in Santorini has great sea and sunset views, views that you can easily enjoy from the santorini resort’s terrace.
Last but not least, is Oia. Oia is one of the most famous spots of the island and is known all over the world for its enchanting sunset. There you can admire the sun that dips into the sea with a view of the volcano. This is the reason why many tourists around the world visit Greece and Santorini as the enchanting sunset with its intense colors is an unprecedented experience that is unique in their life.
