Sights
Three Bells of Fira
A blue-domed church with a bell wall on the caldera path towards Firostefani, one of the island's best-known views.
Fira old port (Ormos Firon) tender landing
Tender port
Leave plenty of time for the return queue at the cable car top station before the last tender.
Getting into town
Take the cable car up to Fira (about 3 minutes plus the queue) or climb the stepped path (allow 30–45 minutes, steep and uneven). Boats to the volcano (Nea Kameni) leave from this harbour, so that trip needs no climb.
Step-free
Not step-free: tenders involve a step down into a moving boat, and the cable car cabins have a step; the path is all steps.
