2. Firostefani, an adorable village perched on the caldera cliffs. Its name means “The crown of Fira” and indicates its position on the highest part of the capital. It becomes obvious that its gifted location offers a unique perspective and stunning views on the capital, the caldera, the sea and the volcano. A stroll around its peaceful, quaint alleys will leave you open-mouthed as you will encounter astonishing traditional houses and blue-domed churches scattered among them.

   15 min

3. The best way to end this tour is by living the top experience in Santorini ꟷ admiring the sought-after sunset from the Castle of Agios Nikolaos in Oia. The ruins of this prominent castle are on the northwest edge of the caldera and, hence, offer a fantastic view that takes your breath away, especially during sunset. Multitudes of people gather there and seek a spot in order to lay eyes on this unparalleled spectacle. They also wish to be part of this unique sensation and festive atmosphere as, according to the tradition, when the sun “disappears” completely, all people start clapping and cheering. In Oia you will also be given free time so that you can wander around and take delight in its jaw-dropping architecture and the striking natural beauty all around you. You can go to a restaurant or a café to relax and enjoy the incredible view.

About Santorini

Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.

The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
