Thira Municipality

Thira Municipality extends across the entire island of Santorini and includes several communities such as Imerovigli, Messaria, Karterados, Akrotiri, and Oia. The administrative area unites these scattered settlements under a single local government.

Thira Municipality traces its roots to ancient Greek settlement patterns and was gradually transformed into a modern administrative unit. Its current form resulted from administrative reforms that streamlined governance across the island.

The Municipal Athletic Cultural Environmental Organization of Santorini coordinates numerous local events throughout the communities within Thira jurisdiction.

Visitors and residents can access municipal services through the official administrative portal, which provides permits, information, and local documentation. It helps to check the website before visiting or when seeking specific services across the different communities.

The municipality provides free wireless internet access across multiple areas, digitally connecting the island's scattered communities. This network allows visitors and residents to stay online even in the smaller settlements.
