Holidays in Thira are fantastically magical. You'll be mesmerised by the views, the people and the happy, content atmosphere. With a fascinating history and a volcanic landscape plus a sprinkling of legend, the flavour on the little island of Santorini is a heady concoction where the boundaries between fact and reality seem somewhat indistinguishable. And this is especially true of its capital, Thira. Clinging to the steep hillside, this idyllic scene has been snapped by many a photographer. The jumble of sun bleached houses and churches with blue domes against the brilliant sea and clear sky are yours to enjoy at your leisure. The fact the town is only accessible on foot, in a cable car or by donkey has preserved its quaint charm and slow pace of life. The narrow streets are lined with shops selling souvenirs, jewellery and pottery, so make sure you treat yourself to a few mementos to take home. Then uncover a traditional taverna and sample some tasty dishes accompanied by a bottle of the local wine. Just be careful on that walk back up the hill! And what a royal treat you're in for on your holidays in Thira. Staying at the aptly named Majestic Hotel located at the town's entrance, you'll be languishing in a sleek contemporary palace built in the most amazing surroundings. With panoramas over the flooded crater of Santorini's volcano and awesome sunsets – you won't get a better vantage point than your hotel room. So book your holidays to Thira now and prepare to fall under the town's spell.
