01 · In a sentence

Ellinon Thea Boutique Hotel in Thira 847 00, open JuneSeptember.

Ellinon Thea Boutique Hotel sits directly on Firostefani's caldera edge, which means your ceremony overlooks the Aegean without requiring a separate venue rental.

This 4.4-rated property handles lodging and events under one roof, simplifying logistics for guests traveling from abroad.

The hotel's 12 suites provide on-site accommodation, eliminating coordination between multiple properties.

I love staying at Ellinon Thea for 3 reasons: location, hospitality and jacuzzi. Location is in the heart of Firostefani which I feel is more peaceful. It is close to 3 Bells of Fira which is very nice especially during sunset. The room we got is very spacious (can sleep 4 people). It is on the ground floor. It is a boutique hotel. Bathroom is small but clean. Tania is very hospitable and able to assist in anyway she can. They include breakfast served in the room. The jacuzzi gives you a very nice view of the caldera. Since room is ground floor which I believe the only ones with jacuzzi, you will see people passing by as hotel has a main road in front for people to passby. Overall great stay.
