Thira (Fira), Santorini

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Skaros Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Perched on the northwestern edge of Santorini, Skaros Rock was once home to a medieval fortress that protected the island from pirates. It now stands as a mesmerising ruin overlooking the Aegean Sea.

The site offers a unique geological display of volcanic formations and ancient buildings carved into the rocky landscape.

Skaros was the capital of Santorini until the 18th century, when the town of Fira took its place.

The ruins are a great place to explore and watch the sun set over the sea.

September 19, 2025,Santorin - Von Fira nach Oia, Calderaweg

Luckily, the ferries to Naxos weren't running today.
So we took the bus to Fira and were able to enjoy this dream tour.
On the return trip, the bus to Kamari was very crowded. Luckily, we arrived a few minutes before departure and even managed to snag a seat.

The hike from Fira to Oia along the volcanic crater is a must. You won't get views like these again anytime soon.
The detour to Skaros is worth it, but not a must.

Don’t rush this walk. The views are stunning and there are enough places to stop to eat/drink. Or buy fresh fruit 👍😁

October 15, 2022,Santorin: Wanderung von Fira nach Oia

The hike from Fira to Oia is the Santorini classic par excellence. Constant views of the caldera, barren, volcanic mountains and the probably most photographed place Oia are the highlights. Unfortunately, there used to be more cool and simple taverns to stop off at, which have now had to give way due to the new construction of luxury apartments.

October 12, 2022,20221012 🇬🇷 Santorin: Oia - Fira

Today was one of the highlights of our cruise: Santorini 😍. Is really wonderful, but unfortunately also very crowded. We took the bus to Oia at 8.30 a.m., but there was already a lot going on. On the hike back to Fira, however, we quickly escaped the crowds. It was a great hike with lots of impressions and a great …

May 9, 2025,Santorini 2: Wanderung von Oia nach Fira

According to many, this is the tour where you can see everything that makes Santorini special.
So, off we go from the north of the island to Fira.
First through the "old town" of Oia and then up and down to the south. The views are stunning and varied. The condition of the paths also varies greatly, but everything is …
