Frequently Asked Questions
Right inside the caldera, in the middle of a drowned volcano, ringed by three-hundred-metre cliffs. No pier can take large ships: tenders land passengers at the old port of Skala, at the foot of the Fira cliff.
Three ways: the cable car, which climbs in a few minutes; the zigzag stairway and its 587 steps, punishing in the sun; and the traditional mules, which we suggest leaving alone, as their treatment raises serious concerns.
By taking one of the first tenders. When several ships share the caldera, the queue can swallow an hour in each direction around midday. That is the real advice for this call.
Fira and the ridge path towards Firostefani and Imerovigli, then Oia if time allows: the local bus climbs there from the Fira terminus in half an hour. Reaching Oia before late morning completely changes the experience.
The island's most photographed village, about twelve kilometres north of Fira, with its cave houses, windmills and blue domes above the sea. It is also the busiest spot: go up early.
A Bronze Age town preserved under the ash of the great eruption, excavated since 1967 in the south of the island and visited beneath a modern roof. You walk among streets, multi-storey houses and jars left in place for thirty-six centuries.
None. The inhabitants fled before the disaster, which leaves the question of what became of them entirely open.
Yes, black sand ones at Perissa and Kamari on the southeast coast. They combine well with a visit to Akrotiri, but they are far from the landing: this is not a call where swimming can be improvised.
Assyrtiko, a dry mineral white made from vines coiled into low baskets to resist the wind, along with the island's intense cherry tomatoes, fava puree and capers. Several estates near the Akrotiri road offer tastings with caldera views.
The euro and Greek, with English spoken everywhere. Cards work almost everywhere; keep cash for the cable car and the local buses.
