Orthodox Cathedral, FiraViewing Firostefani
The tiny white buidings on top of this cliff mark the village of Firostefani. I walked to his village from Fira. It was a long a steep walk but the views were worth the effort. There are great views of the caldera. You can see the walls that were carved from the volcanic eruptions centuries ago as you walk and you are made aware once more that you are trespassing on an active volcano. I was very aware of this while I walked the streets and viewed the cliffs. It all made the visit to Santorini even more exotic to me.
My guide book stated that the name Firostefani was originally Firon Stefani meaning Crown of Fira. I think the name describes it very well.
