All Fired Up for a Walk at Fira

Santorini is a dream destination for many globetrotters, and its capital, Fira, is the lively cultural and commercial center of the island. Perching on the edge of a caldera cliff, Fira flaunts its whitewashed houses, winding pathways, and vibrant life, ranking among the top cosmopolitan towns of the Cyclades.

 

As the capital of the island, Fira provides many options for exploring, and a tour with LTS will acquaint you with all the “must-see & must-do” in Fira. Traditional Cycladic architecture, scenic cobblestoned alleys, shops, restaurants, bars, night clubs, and a spectacular view over the Aegean, the caldera and the volcano, are only a few elements that add to the charm of this beautiful Cycladic town. Meander through Fira walking downhill towards the Cable Car station, ultimately reaching the old port, also known as Ornos, to have drinks or dinner gazing at the stunning view.

Fira is also home to some noteworthy landmarks, such as the Megaro Gyzi Cultural Center, famous for its collections, cultural events, theatrical performances, and concerts. The two imposing cathedrals are definitely worth your attention, while the Museum of Prehistoric Thera and the Archaeological Museum of Thera vaunt a wealth of impressive finds from all over Santorini.
