Thira, also known as Thera, is the vibrant and picturesque capital of Santorini. Perched high on the cliffs, this charming town has iconic whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and stunning views of the caldera.

Its narrow streets are dotted with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, making it a great place to explore. You'll find plenty of accommodation here too.

Fira, Santorini

Highlight • Settlement

When you look at it for the first time, you think of a couple. If you take a closer look, you can see that the artist Popos, born and raised in Santorini, has made a monument to the island here.

View of Fira, Santorini

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fira is the capital of Santorini, a Greek volcanic island in the Aegean Sea. Before we start explaining about the city, we recommend that you look at the keyword Oia - about the neighboring beautiful village and about the geology of Santorini.

Skaros Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Perched on the northwestern edge of Santorini, Skaros Rock was once home to a medieval fortress that protected the island from pirates. It now stands as a mesmerising ruin overlooking the Aegean Sea.

The site offers a unique geological display of volcanic formations and ancient buildings carved into the rocky landscape.

Skaros was the capital of Santorini until the 18th century, when the town of Fira took its place.

The ruins are a great place to explore and watch the sun set over the sea.

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you don't have enough altitude in your pocket, you can take a detour to this summit just a few meters from here. Good shoes are important, not sandals! 45 minutes extra time must be planned. There is also a small chapel hidden away here. Nice view😍
