The town of Ancient Thira, was built on the hill Mesa Vuno and founded by the Dorian colonists during the 8th century B.C.., it domains the southeast coast of the Island of Thira and, since its foundation and until the end of antiquity, was the civil, administrative and religious center of the city state of Thira.
Firostefani is the old village north from Fira characterized by traditional villages, the view of the capital city, the sea and the volcano. Its name means 'Crown of Fira' due to the altitude of the location in relation to the rest Fira.
Caldera is called the territorial cavity formed when the part of a volcanic cone recedes; the most characteristic Caldera in Greece is the one of Santorini Island which was formed around 1613 B.C. due to the Minoan eruption that took place.
The outline of the Caldera of Santorini is formed from the Islands of Santorini, Aspronisi and Therasia. The diameter of the Caldera of Santorini reaches 16 Km which classifies it as the largest Caldera on Earth.
The Villa Ilias Hotel is situated in one of the best locations of the island. From an altitude of 300 m anyone can admire the Caldera, the volcano and the unique and amazing sunset.

Hi Lynda if it's at all possible then I can recommend going, we've been several times and the sunsets are amazing as is the absolute beauty in this area.
Oh my, now there are birds chirping like crazy! All this beauty and sound too - wish I could see and hear these things in person.
Finally heard something besides the wind - church bells were pealing just before 7 a.m. cam time. A little early for those who like to sleep in on a Sunday morning. LOL
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a taste of paradise. Exferisto agapi mou.........
This is lovely watching three large cruise ships just stopping to take in the views of this beautiful place
I agree Zed71, the sunsets are truly amazing
We need another Santorini cam that shows the awesome golden sunsets.
I love the way the buildings on Santorini seem to grow organically out of the cliffs. The architecture is so beautiful and blends in perfectly with its surroundings.
If anybody likes walking I can thoroughly recommend the path from Fira to Oia, excellent views.
Honestly your camera will never stop in Santorini especially in this area.
Beautiful. Great location! I want to visit Santorini.
Lucky fish James ... to have been able to go so often. I wish we could do that. Enjoy your upcoming holiday. Sharron xx
Have been visiting Santorini every year since 2004 and married there in 2008, beautiful island with amazing people. Have made wonderful freinds on the island and can't wait only another 13 more days until we are home again x
We spent 4 blissful days here in 2010. It has to be the most beautiful place on earth. The folks are friendly, peaceful and spiritual. Hello Santorini. Love Sharron in South Africa x
We've stayed in a hotel at Imerovigli which isn't far from here and although there was 100 steps up to the path from our converted cave it was well worth it. I just love this island.
