Thira, also known as Thera, is the vibrant and picturesque capital of Santorini. Perched high on the cliffs, this charming town has iconic whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and stunning views of the caldera.

Its narrow streets are dotted with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, making it a great place to explore. You'll find plenty of accommodation here too.

Fira, Santorini

Highlight • Settlement

When you look at it for the first time, you think of a couple. If you take a closer look, you can see that the artist Popos, born and raised in Santorini, has made a monument to the island here.

View of Fira and the caldera

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the port of Skala, you can reach the village of Thira, 300 meters higher up, picturesquely nestled along the crater's rim. Thira is the island's main town. The town is often also called Fira. The 300 meters to the town center can be reached on foot via the famous staircase, with its hundreds of steps (587 steps). Those who find this too strenuous can reach this picturesque town either on donkey back or by cable car.
