Firts of all, we start visiting the most recognizable spot of Santorini. It’s northern side Oia a colorful community with whitewashed cottages perched on a rock overlooking the Caldera and volcano. Wander around its winding paths while inhaling the salty air and smelling the Mediterranean smells and admiring with us the wide vistas of the sea and sky.

Firostefani

Returning from Oia we will make a “photostop” at Firostefani. In Greek language, Stefani means crown, therefore it is the Crown of Fira. There is located the famous Blue Domed Church. This iconic church has adorned the cover of so many guidebooks of the island. So, pose like a celebrity and your travel expert will take many photos of you with an amazing view in the background.
