Firostefani

Hotels in Firostefani, Santorini Island

Firostefani can be found just a short walk to the north of the Capital, Fira. This little village is so close to Fira that many people think it is actually just an extension of the town itself, when in fact it is one of the most stunning villages on the island.

Being at a slightly higher elevation to Fira, Firostefani has some fabulous views over the volcano and is a great place to catch the sunset at night time. It also has one of the best vantage points for capturing pictures of the island from a slightly different perspective.

The village itself has several restaurants, shop and hotels although it manages to retain its traditional feel which helps to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere for all visitors. Although the view away from the edge of the cliff is not quite so stunning, Firostefani is still a very beautiful and picturesque village. The restaurants are ideal for both families and couples and there is a wide choice of meal options available to suit all tastes.

You can enjoy the best of both worlds at Firostefani. If you want to sit back and relax, then this is the perfect place to do so, however, if you want something a little livelier, the footpath between the village and the main town takes just minutes to walk where the is a whole range of restaurants and lively nightlife, shops and attractions to enjoy. Being so close to town also means the rest of the island is also easily accessible as you are able to catch he local bus from town to other areas of the island for great sightseeing opportunities.

A camera will be needed for the short walk along the path into town as the views from the footpath are breath-taking. It is nice to walk the path even on a warm day as a cool breeze from the sea blows across and makes it very pleasant and refreshing.
