Fira or Thira is the capital town of the island. It is built on top of the caldera cliffs, offering panoramic view to the volcano and spectacular sunsets. The town is situated above the old port, which is accessible by 556 broad, winding steps leading to it. The Venetian and cycladic architecture meet here, in an extraordinary combination of dazzling white houses domed churches, sun-bathed terraces and stepped alleys. There are all kinds of bars and clubs hosted in traditional dwellings, stylish cafes with magnificent view, elegant restaurants built on the edge of the rock and traditional tavernas. Wondering around the cobbled streets of Fira, one gets the feeling of the old-world charm blended in with the modern-day comforts. But above all, there is a multinational young crowd walking up and down the narrow streets of the village, until early in the morning. The unique atmosphere together with the vivid day and nightlife are to be remembered for a long time after.

Megalochori (or Megalohori, Megaloxori) is the first village we meet if we arrive at Santorini by boat, after climbing Athinios port caldera. It is located between Pyrgos, Emporio and Akrotiri at a distance of less than 10 km from Fira. It is made of hundreds of small white painted houses built the one upon the other and it is characterised by its beautiful churches. It combines traditional architecture with vaulted houses and calderimia (stone-cobbled narrow pathways) and a lively community with a fairly large permanent population. Megalochori attracts a fair number of tourist, choose it as a handy base for exploring the island: it is not faraway from Fira, and within easy distance of Akrotiri and the beaches of Perissa, Perivolos, Agios Georgios and Vlihada of the South coast.
