Sightseeing and recreation
This is the capital
and it is situated right on the edge of the Caldera. Cycladic domed
churches, sun-bathed terraces, stepped alleys and in the background the deep
blue sea and the threatening volcano comprise a unique picture.
Six hundred
steps will lead you down the caldera to the harbor of Fira. The
way down is easy. For the way back you may choose either the "teleferic"
or the traditional "donkeys".
