Half of the island of Thera once sank after a huge volcanic eruption, creating the world’s largest caldera
Fira, the capital of Santorini
Fira is the touristic hub of the island, with traditional and contemporary architecture hanging on the edge of the cliff
Fira is perched 300 meters above the sea level
Oia, at the northern tip of the caldera, is the most picturesque traditional settlement in Greece
Oia is world acclaimed as the BEST place on earth to watch a sunset. Take it from me: it’s indeed the best place in the world to watch the sunset
