Traveler reviews
Thiago César Queiroz
★★★★★2 years agoThe panoramic view from Fira is simply stunning! 😍 If you’re in Santorini, this is the place to be. The view over the caldera is breathtaking, especially at sunset. You can see the white-washed buildings cascading down the cliffs, the deep blue of the Aegean Sea, and the volcanic islands in the distance. It’s a perfect spot for taking photos or just soaking in the beauty. Plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby where you can sit and enjoy the view with a drink. Highly recommend visiting both during the day and at sunset for two different but equally amazing experiences. Don’t forget your camera!

★★★★★a year agoCame here at end of October recently on a cruise. Great views from here (or nearby) in the morning after walking up the donkey path. There were some benches along the street and In the evening we sat on one to view the sunset. A beautiful day in Santorini.
