If you are planning to visit the
amazingly beautiful capital of Santorini - the city of Fira, you should
definitely consider doing your sightseeing research beforehand, or even better
- opt for one of the best Fira private tours of this cosmopolitan settlement,
in order to ensure that you don’t miss a single sight.
Fira is located on the western side of
the island of Santorini right across the volcano and another two volcanic
islands in the sea.
Fira can be reached by road from the
airport or port, as well as by cable car or even via an exotic donkey ride
which is provided from the island’s port.
You will be astonished by the
marvelous combination between the natural beauty of the town and the active
social and night life and the overall feel of this must-see Greek town.
One of the sights you cannot miss when
you are on a private tour or just visiting Fira is the astounding view of
Caldera.
The town has two cathedrals which are
wonderful landmarks and are definitely worth visiting as well. Also, if you
want to enjoy some of the historical scenery you should definitely go and see
the Thera Archaeological Museum and the Prehistoric Museum which showcase many
historical items and relics from the island and from ancient Thira. There is a
unique Folklore Museum in the nearby village of Kontochori, which you should
definitely see if you get the chance.
Once you are done with the sightseeing
you can enjoy some shopping in the various stores and shopping centres in the
area, or just sit down and relax while enjoying the local cuisine or a
delicious beverage in one of the many local restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
If you want to get to know some of the
local cultural traditions and enjoy a cultural event, you should visit the
Megaro Gyzi Cultural Center where numerous collections are exhibited and many
different cultural events are held.
For your stay you have a very wide
choice of possible accommodations ranging from luxurious hotels to camping
sites.
