Fira is the beautiful capital of the island and the biggest and most cosmopolitan settlement of Santorini. It is located in the western edge of the island, opposite the volcano and the two volcanic islands, Palaia Kammeni and Nea Kammeni that lie in the sea. Fira is a combination of natural beauty, social life, night life, and shopping, where you can feel the liveliness of the island and where all the action takes place. What makes it so ravishing is the Caldera view that leaves visitors speechless anytime of the day. A walk to the scenic alleys during the daytime will fill you with harmony. There is a wealth of restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs where you can relax and enjoy the tremendous view or dance and have fun. It actually owns the greatest dining out and entertainment selection of the island and the largest shopping centre, too. Moreover, there are many clothes shops, gift shops, souvenir shops, supermarkets and other facilities for every need.

Firostefani is a tranquil, cliffside village on the Greek island of Santorini, renowned for its breathtaking views and authentic charm. Located just 1 kilometre north of Fira, the island's bustling capital, Firostefani is perched on the western edge of Santorini’s caldera at an elevated position, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, the volcano, and neighbouring islands. The village’s name, which translates to "Crown of Fira", reflects its position overlooking Santorini’s stunning caldera and its proximity to Fira. Visitors to Firostefani can enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, scenic environment just a short walk away from the vibrant nightlife, shops, and dining options of Fira. Known for its traditional Cycladic architecture, whitewashed buildings, and iconic blue-domed churches, Firostefani offers a more laid-back experience, making it ideal for those who want to savour Santorini’s natural beauty in a quieter setting.

The village of Imerovigli, also known as “The balcony to the Aegean”, is built on the highest point of the caldera cliffs, about 300 metres above sea level. It is situated at the north part of the island, 3 kilometres from the capital of Fira. Its position provides a magnificent view of the famous volcano, the sparkling Aegean Sea and the sunset that is out of this world. The notable attraction of the village is the famous, immense rock called Skaros that lies on the seaward side. It is of paramount importance since it was one of the five fortresses of Santorini and the most significant one. There are numerous churches and chapels in Imerovigli, among them the prominent church of Panagia Malteza and the chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti, built on the cliff edge in front of Skaros offering a unique panaromic view of the caldera.

Oia is considered the most picturesque village of Santorini and holds the position of the most visited spot for sunset viewing, as it provides an excellent view of the well-known sunset, probably the most famous sunset in the world. It is on the northwest coast of Santorini and it is built on the caldera slope. It is no wonder that a few films have been filmed in Oia, for its beauty is unprecedented. It is a synthesis of white-blue houses and churches, with pink and ocher details, “hanging” on the caldera, composing a colourful canvas that is difficult to put in words. In Oia you can stroll in the charming narrow paths, visit shops, galleries and enjoy the atmospheric cafes, bars and restaurants. At the bottom of the village is Ammoudi Bay where there is a row of traditional taverns by the sea with local food. You can also swim there, in wonderful crystal waters with the breathtaking caldera view above you, if you take the small path that leads to a unique diving area.
