Don't fret Fira even in the middle of summer. For the sunset all the tourists seem to evacuate to Oia to see the sunset. It is supposedly the thing to do. I staid back in Fira, located a beautiful terrace bar overlooking the caldera with the smoking volcano center islands in a distance and the beautiful sea way down below. Very quiet, away from the tourist crowds on the rim, with very tasteful jazz music in the background. And the terrace was practically empty with only a couple of other parties there. I spent almost 3 hours there, just enjoying the scene. I will never forget it. But that was in 1996. I don't know whether that scene has changed dramatically.
