We bought a piece of art from here many years ago, after a house move and re installation of our bronze fishes we managed to break one of the fish tails. Emailed the gallery and within a few days we were able to put up our replacement piece. Alex and his staff were so helpful and kind, could not recommend this gallery more!

Beautiful. The main church of the city. It's very big inside and outside as well. Admission is free, although a small donation will always be appreciated.

One of the most photographed motifs in all of Firá is definitely the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church, which looks really inconspicuous at first glance from the way. The real highlight, however, is the view of the blue dome from above.
6. Catholic Church of St. Stylianos
7. Ekklisia Agios Minas
