Fira (also known as Thira), a small town built on the edge of a 400-meter-high volcano in the west of Santorini, has a spectacular view. The walls of the town houses are all white and the roofs are dark blue, which is in harmony with the sky, sea and ocean. Mixed into one, it is a postcard with a single shot. Fira is not only a traditional residential place, it is very prosperous. The town is convenient for taxis and there are many hotels. From here, there are direct buses to Oia town, black sand beach and red sand beach. It can be said to be the bus transfer station of Holy Island. Every peak season in July, August and September is basically crowded with tourists, many of whom are newly married couples who come here for their honeymoon. In the leisure time of a morning in the town, you can overlook the Aegean Sea, overlook the volcanic island on the opposite side, blow the sea breeze, sunbathe or walk around on the trails and take photos. In the evening, you can sit in the restaurant near the cliff and enjoy delicious food while watching the sunset. At night, it's even brighter. You can go to the bar to listen to music and relax with a glass of wine.

Show More ReviewsThere is also a cliff hotel view, but the view is worse than that of Oia town. There are many small shops and a strong commercial atmosphere. The roads are very narrow. If you encounter cruise ship passengers, you have to queue when walking.
