#Blue Suites Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Fira - unforgettable small town #Santorini
It is only 10 minutes by public bus from the airport! Fira in Greek called Thira or Ancient Greek Thera is the biggest town on the island! It is nestled on the slopes of a hill and on the other side the caldera- rocks the almost vertically fall into the Aegean Sea! That’s why it is unique! I have been to many, many countries and places but once you are there it will be deep in your ❤️and your soul.
We walked through the pedestrian lanes in the old town and felt like to be part of it! And you must be there for sunset at the caldera where many restaurants invite you to relax and have a drink or dinner! A bit pricy but worth!
Getting There - by plane from Athens all year around, from May to October there are holiday flights from many European cities
Attractions - 1. caldera
2. Walk to Firostefani 15minutes and then to Imerovigli another 20minutes! from there you can hike yo Oia another 8kilometers
