Fira

Fira is the capital of Santorini. It is located on the west side of the island, on the rocks of the caldera just opposite the volcano. Modern Fira is the cultural and commercial center of Santorini. Although geared around the tourist industry, perhaps more so than other areas on the island, there is much about Fira worth taking a look at.

Apart from museums, galleries, and cultural events, Fira is the commercial center of the island, while offering inexhaustible choices of food, nightlife, and entertainment. The picturesque streets of Fira during the summer period are teaming by the visitors of Santorini. Shopping in Fira offers countless choices, there are many art galleries, as well as souvenir shops and jewelers. Fira is also the center of nightlife on the island, with many bars and clubs, for endless fun with a view of the volcano. And of course, there is a huge selection of restaurants and taverns where you can enjoy your dinner accompanied by wonderful local wine.
