Fira offers some great places for all musical tastes. Numerous cafes and bars occupy a unique spot along the caldera and offer incredible panoramic night views over the submerged volcano. Oia keeps a low profile, while Fira is mostly famous for its noisy clubs. There is definitely a fair number of bars in Oia but they are considerably less active compared to Fira, as most of the people who arrive in Oia are mostly interested in the romantic scenes and not the party atmosphere. Kamari and Perissa are also nice alternatives to experience the lively atmosphere of Santorini.
