Fira, the capital city of Santorini, and a very pretty city at that. Perched on a hill overlooking the sea, the streets are designedfor foot travel only. I have never been in a place so geared towards the tourism trade. More signs were in English than in Greek, I had to keep reminding myself that I actually was in Greece. A lot of the hotels and shops were closed until the tourist season. But I actually enjoyed being able to experience the local charm without the place being full of foreigners. The architecture and the views were simply breathtaking.
