| Lots of shopping to do |
Fira (also known as Thera or Thira) is the main town of Santorini
island, located on the top of a cliff of a caldera. Though it has
little except its stunning view, the museum, the cable car, and the few
bars and clubs, its central location makes it a good base to use as
there are buses from many other parts of the island.
A popular spot on the Santorini island is its
capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed
buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from
Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer
a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of
this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s
narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.
