To reach Fira, Santorini's main town, you can climb the dramatic 300-meter rock edge using 687 steps, take the mountain road, or ride the funicular up. The town itself has the white-washed houses with blue roofs you've probably seen in photos, and the views over the sea and sky from up there are what draw filmmakers and artists. The sunsets here are different each evening, with colors that seem almost unreal mixing with the waves and volcanic air. You can also check out the multicolored beaches covered in volcanic sand.
