The
Ellinon Thea Hotel is an A Catagory hotel in Firostafani, just 500 meters from
the town of Thira. A brand new property (first year of operation 2006), Ellinon
Thea (it means “view of the Greeks”) is a charming little complex (9 rooms only)
run by a very friendly and hospitable family. The complex is built on street
level but not on the main road – so no endless flights of steps to climb – but
still enjoys a splendid view of the sea and the volcano.
