Car Hire Fira Santorini

Fira is the capital of Santorini and its most lively area. It has a strategic location on the island's west side opposite the volcano and hot springs. In Fira, you can find everything you need from restaurants and nightlife to museums and historical landmarks.

Fira is a short distance from Athinios Port and just 10 minutes away from Santorini Airport. Moreover, you can drive to all major villages and famous beaches within 20 to 25 minutes. So, it makes sense to book a low-cost car from Fira to explore the beauties of the island.

Cheap Fira Santorini Car Rental

Apart from being easily accessible from all areas in Santorini, Fira is also ideal for boat tours. You can take the boat from the Old Port of Fira to explore the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palaia Kameni. Boat tours are available daily if the weather permits. Remember that accessing the Old Port of Fira is better by cable car or by the traditional 600 steps. Try to avoid riding the donkeys as they get really tired, and it's not a pleasant walk for them.

 

Fira is also the ideal place to take an extensive boat tour to the islands of the Caldera, including Thirassia and Aspronisi. If you want more privacy or if you're a group of friends, private catamaran cruises are also available from Fira. An extensive volcano and caldera boat tour includes swimming in the hot springs, exploring the volcano's crater, discovering Thirassia's hidden gems, and marveling at the sunset aboard.

What Can I Do In Fira Santorini?

⦿ Visit the Three Bells of Fira, the only remaining part from the 1956 earthquake. The three bells of the Catholic church of Koimisi tis Theotokou is the most famous photographic spot. The blue and white dome, the Aegean Sea backdrop, and the steep volcanic cliffs make the perfect Instagram photo!

⦿ Want to learn some history? A visit to the Prehistoric Museum of Thera is a must! The excavations and exhibits date back from the Neolithic Era to the Minoan Bronze Age and the Cycladic Era.

⦿ If you're an early bird, hiking along the Caldera should be on your to-do list. You can walk to Imerovigli and stop at Skaros Rock or continue for about 10 km to Oia. Whichever trail you choose, the landscape will compensate you all the way through!

⦿ Wandering around Fira and exploring its aesthetic alleys and lovely shops is another must-do afternoon activity. Want to drink cocktails or beer with a sunset view? Tropical Bar in Fira is the place to relax after your long day!

⦿ For a unique local experience, take the cable car from the Old Port up to Fira. The short ride offers breathtaking caldera views and a perfect perspective of Santorini’s dramatic volcanic landscape.

Best Beaches Near Fira Santorini

⦿ Monolithos Beach is a 10-min drive away from Fira. Known mainly to the locals, this black sand beach is ideal for families with children.

⦿ Vourvoulos Beach is another great beach near Fira on the island's east coast. Another tranquil beach with umbrellas and sunbeds, Vourvoulos Beach is more isolated than other beaches. If you're hungry after swimming, you can enjoy your lunch at Vourvoulos Harbour in a taverna called To Limanaki.

⦿ Want some more privacy? Then Xiropigado Beach is the place to be. Right next to Vourvoulos, it boasts a rocky landscape and a pebbled shoreline.

⦿ On the northeast coast of Santorini, you'll find the quiet beach of Pori. Next to Cape Columbo, you can easily go to this sandy beach with your car. The beach is not organized, and it's the place to be if you want to avoid the crowds.

⦿ Exo Gialos Beach is the closest beach to Fira. It features black volcanic sand, calm waters, and a cozy seaside bar. It offers a peaceful alternative to Santorini’s busier southern beaches.

Rental Cars In Fira Santorini

Fira is the most vibrant area of all Santorini. It has the widest option of restaurants, bars, nightlife, boutiques, and shops. But, the most spectacular thing in Fira is the views. Aw, and what views! The breathtaking Caldera view, the deep blue Aegean Sea, and the rocky volcanic islands are a truly unique sight.

Fira is a fantastic place to visit year-round. However, visiting Fira during the peak season can be pretty overwhelming. As it is the most tourist place in Santorini, crowds are on most streets, shops, and restaurants. However, there's always a hidden corner near you, like the Church of St. John the Theologian. So, take your beloved ones and enjoy the sunset views from the church!
