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.

Thira (also spelled Fira) is the linchpin on the island. Everything can be found here. Including wonderful views and of course a lot of restaurants and hotels.
