10 Sights & Landmarks in Fira That You Shouldn't Miss

April 3, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

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!

Reviewed By I8750MQalexs - Kiti, Cyprus

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.
