If you follow me on social media, you probably noticed that a couple of weeks ago, Josh and I took a trip to the beautiful Greek island of Santorini (hello Instagram looking on point!).
Fira I guess is considered the 'capital' of Santorini, but don't get wild visions of a big city, but instead you'll be greeted by a quaint town, with beautiful cobbled streets, cute Greek shops, and probably one of the most beautiful views you'll every lay your eyes on.

1. V Lounge Cafe & Cocktail Bar
The view from V Lounge & Cocktail Bar is insane. If you're looking to watch the beautiful Santorini sunset, but avoid the crowded streets, be it in Oia or Fira, then this is the place for you. Call and make a reservation for a cosy sofa for two right at the front, order a cocktail or two, sit back and soak in the incredible view.
2. Haagen Dazs Cafe
Love desserts? Check. Love ice cream? Check. Then the Haagen Dazs Cafe is the place for you. If you sit down in the Cafe area, rather than go inside, you'll be greeted with an extensive menu of delicious, ice-cream based desserts. From brownies and ice cream, to cookie jars, macarons and crepes, there's so much deliciousness that is impossible to resist. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a commercial brand, which we think a lot of people were - the desserts are truly irresistible.
3. Cable Cars to the 'Old Port'
Personally, we didn't do this, but you can get a cable car down the steep cliff of Fira, all the way to the Old Port. I believe there's a couple of little restaurants down there, but for €5.00 each way, per person, it didn't seem worth it to us - especially when you face the prospect of waiting in a long queue to get back up.
If you're looking for relaxation, beautiful scenery, sunsets and of course, sunshine, then I would definitely recommend a trip to Santorini. Are you planning a trip to Santorini? I would love to hear from you!
