    Most photographed place. Since we visited in third week of May, it wasn’t that crowded and there was not much queue. Worth visiting and taking a picture here. If you are there for sunset, for which Santorini is famous for, you will not be disappointed

  • Gena G

    Stunning views of the blue domed church overlooking the Aegean sea below. The Three Bells of Fira is an Eastern Catholic Greek Byzantine Church. There were no crowds since we visited in January and got to see the beautiful evening sun setting.
