Santorini, Geece: Fira, Caldera by night - Santorini
Want to make your OWN panoramic virtual tours? - click for details and "how we do it"
 Fira is the capital of the island of Santorini, built on the edge of a cliff which is in fact, the rim of a volcanic crater, the 'Caldera'. FIra is approximately 900 feet almost 800 broad zigzagging steps up from the port and harbour. You can either walk! take a donkey ride up the winding steps or take the easy route and pay 3 euro (2005 prices) for the cable car ride. Climbing the steps on the back of a Donkey has been a tradition on Santorini for years, although from 20 years ago when the cable car was opened many travellers have taken the more modern mechanical ascent. Fira suffered in the earthquake of 1956. The town has approximately 1500 permanent inhabitants, although during the summer season this number can be doubled just by the docking of one of the many cruise ships which make Santorini one of their ports of call.
