Serviced Apartments in Firá

Firá is the capital of the Greek island of Santorini, famous in legend as a haunt of vampires. You may not see any vampires whilst you are staying in a Firá serviced apartment, but you definitely will see some spectacular scenery, as the village is high on a 750 foot high cliff, looking over the mouth of the volcano. Although the volcano is currently dormant, the area is prone to earthquakes and a big one in 1956 destroyed a large part of the town, but happily there are still some amazing pieces of architecture left intact.

While you are staying in a holiday rental in Firá you will certainly see the world go by. Many of the cruise ships stop there, whether they are on a Mediterranean itinerary or on their way to the Baltic or even further afield. Because of this, the shops in Firá are very good and you will find plenty of souvenirs to remind you of your short stay apartment in Firá. Jewellery shops are particularly well stocked and there are also a number of craft and artisan outlets where you can buy typical Greek items.

The bars and restaurants in the town are excellent and whether you are out for the morning from your apartment rental in Firá looking for coffee and a lovely Greek pastry such as baklava or kataifi (think shredded wheat with honey – delicious) or a meal, you will have loads of choice. Evenings in your Firá serviced accommodation are also easily filled with the bars providing great nightlife amongst very friendly people. Most people start the evening in the main square, Plateia Theotopokoulou before deciding where to go and you will see the world go by if you start there too.

The views all round from Firá are stunning and from your aparthotel you will be able to see volcanoes almost everywhere you look, either the main crater on Santorini or the smaller islands, each one a volcano cone poking up out of the sea, made of the black basalt thrown up in the eruption that made them. To remind you that you are staying, in your Firá holiday apartment, in a very unstable part of the earth’s crust, visit the Megaron Gyzi museum, to see photos of the town before the earthquake of 1956. Don’t let it worry you, though – it was over fifty years ago and everything has been nice and quiet since then!
