Fira - Capital amd largest town of Santorini. It is a village of dazzlingly whitewashed houses clinging to steep volcanic cliffs.Accessible only by foot, Fira's narrow cobblestone lanes lead uphill past shops, homes and cafes to a cable car.

Centuries old frescoes in the Panagia Episkopi Church. This church dates from the 11th century. It is the oldest Byzantine church on the island and has survived pirates, earthquakes, eruptions and fire.
