Santorini & Around

The Island

Santorini was created from a volcanic eruption that left it with volcanic cliffs overlooking a black and red coast, dazzling against the turquoise Mediterranean. Vibrant historic towns spread out along cliff tops, where whitewashed buildings cluster around central squares. Santorini is one of the most popular, beautiful and unique islands in the world since it combines beautiful beaches, cosmopolitan atmosphere, spectacular scenery with deep blue sea and breath-taking sunsets, ancient cities, amazing restaurants, some of the world's best wine, and an active volcano.

The capital

Fira is the capital of Santorini. It can be found on the west coast of the island, on the caldera cliffs opposite the volcano. Modern day Fira is the cultural and commercial centre of the Santorini. Apart from the museums, galleries and cultural events, it has the island's largest shopping centre and the biggest choice of dining out and entertainment. Fira heads the nightlife section, many bars and cafes are actually on the caldera whilst others are tucked into the quaint cobbled streets weaving through the town.
