Fira, the capital of Santorini, is often the first stop for visitors discovering the island. For cruise passengers arriving at the Old Port and taking the cable car up to town, Kapari 1670 is just a short walk from the upper station. It’s an inviting place to enjoy Greek cuisine and flavours inspired by Santorini, right in the heart of Fira.

Kapari 1670 is just a five-minute walk [around 300 metres] from Fira’s main square.
Walk uphill along 25th March Street towards Firostefani and Imerovigli, and you’ll find us on your left.
25th Martiou Street begins in the heart of Fira and is one of the town’s main thoroughfares, lined with shops, cafés, local services and everything visitors may need during their stay. Heading north, the road leads towards Firostefani, Kontochori and continues on to Imerovigli, naturally connecting some of Santorini’s best-known Caldera villages.

easily
accessible
This prime location makes Kapari 1670 easily accessible both for guests staying in Fira and for visitors exploring the town on foot.
The Fira Cable Car, the Dominican Sisters’ Monastery of St Catherine and Gyzi Megaron are all about 200 metres away. The Church of St John the Baptist (Agios Ioannis Prodromos, locally known as Chostos) is just 20 metres away, and the traditional village of Kontochori is only a short stroll from the restaurant.
If you’re driving, there are three free municipal car parks about 150 – 250 metres away:

Just a few steps from Kapari 1670 lies one of Fira’s most distinctive and lesser-known little churches, Saint John the Baptist, known locally as “Chostos.”
Its name is associated with its unusual architecture, as much of the church is built into the volcanic rock, a characteristic example of Santorini’s traditional cave style architecture. Small and simple, with its single nave vaulted interior, the church reveals a peaceful, intimate space, quite different from the island’s larger and better known places of worship.
Its discreet white Cycladic facade gives little away about what lies behind it, creating the feeling of discovering a hidden gem in the very heart of Fira.
Its close proximity to Kapari 1670 adds another fascinating layer to the historic character of the neighbourhood, a place where traces of old Santorini remain part of everyday life in the island’s modern day capital.
