Beautiful church, with lovely views in the heart of Fira. Close to shops, restaurants and hotels. It was closed while we were there.

This church is beautiful, very photographic. Very friendly people around the church, very busy but felt like a very safe invironment. This whole area is breath taking.

The cathedral was originally built in 1827. Was nearly destroyed during the devastating 1956 earthquake. The frescoes inside present great photo opportunities. And don't miss the intricate woodworking.

Very beautiful Greek Orthodox church. Pictures are discouraged on the inside. The outside is stunning. Lovely location just off the path.

This is the big, beautiful white church you can see from almost anywhere along the cliffs in Fira. The courtyard is peaceful and offers some incredible, sweeping views of the caldera. It's a great place to take a moment away from the busy main paths. The architecture is stunning, especially the contrast of the pure white walls against the blue sky. You don't need to spend a lot of time here, but it's a must-see landmark while exploring Fira.
