Fira is the vibrant capital of Santorini, boasting beautiful white buildings, stunning views of the Aegean Sea, and a lively nightlife. Wander around, souvenir shop, and sample tasty food at the various restaurants and cafes.
Take a morning boat tour and hike to the active volcano to witness the spectacular views of the blue waters and the rugged coastline of Santorini. Afterward, relax in the natural hot springs on Palea Kameni Island.
Visit the iconic town of Oia, famous for its white and blue buildings and picturesque sunset views. Stroll through the narrow streets, enjoy the local art galleries, and enjoy a romantic sunset dinner at a cliffside restaurant.
Experience the unique flavor of Santorini wines at a local winery. Later, head to Kamari beach and unwind while sunbathing and swimming in the crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea.
To move between towns, you can take a local bus or rent a car for extra convenience. The fare for a single bus ride is around €1.80, while renting a car costs vary depending on the car make and rental period.
If you have more time, venture to the lesser-known town of Pyrgos and explore the ruins of the old castle. You can also take a boat excursion to the nearby island of Thirassia. If you have less time, consider taking just a half-day volcano tour or skipping the wine tasting.
Santorini (JTR) Airport is located in Kamari, approximately 5 km southeast of Fira. Taxis and buses run regularly from the airport to Fira, costing around €15-20 for a taxi ride and €2 for a bus ride.
