Fira village on Santorini Island


Posted by Picasa
On the way back down the cliff from Oia village, we stopped in another village, Fira, which was brimming with tourists.  In 1956 this little town, along with the rest of the island, was hit by an earthquake that destroyed a large part of the island.  Some of Fira was destroyed, but luckily, some of the 18th century buildings were saved.

In Fira we stopped in an art gallery that featured metal art – visions from the Sea.  Fabulous!

Our exit from the island was ‘interesting’ to say the very least. We took a CABLE CAR from the top to the port that went almost vertically.  It was after dark and definitely what we’d put in the ADVENTURE category for the trip.
