Reviews - Sky Of Thira

"My boyfriend and I were traveling through Greece and Santorini was a stop on the way. We were very fortunate to have Jon Vlachos from the hotel economy recommend us to go to a travel agency (passe partout) to book a cruise to the islands. In our package was accommodations to the Sky of Thira Hotel. Georgio picked us up right from the port and brought us to the hotel, which he repeated at the end of our stay. Rooms were more like apartments with kitchenette, 2 rooms, balcony with beautiful view of countryside (doesn't face the caldera so anyone who posts a negative review because of this shall be forewarned). This is not a resort so not like the all inclusive down south deals. 15 min walk outside of Thira(shopping/dining hubub) so it is nice and quiet in the evenings once you trek back from town. It is on a busy street and everyone drives very fast, so please lookout. Air conditioning was wonderful, worked so well I felt like I was back in Canada. There is a pool there that is enclosed by the building so nice and private. It is small but great for a nice lounge or quick dip (sorry to those who like lap pools). Breakfast is included everyday, very good but repetitive, but always in abundance. Georgio used to be a ship captain so make sure if you want to book a volcano/caldera excursion to go through him as he gets great deals. Overall was an amazing, relaxing and unforgettable stay."

Georgiou is a delightful host and will go out of his way to look after you.The breakfast menu could vary and the swimming pool was an eye-sore (middle of winter) with rubbish and putrid water. Overall a very reasonable and well appointed budget hotel with good clean rooms, free WiFi and a three minute walk to the Fira township

These apartments are nice for those that like to be independent, because every of each has it's own entrance and balcony. The hotel is not on the Caldera side but it has sea view on the other part. The owner and it's staff are very friendly and they satisfy you any need you have. The breakfast is basic not buffet, but is good. The prices are good too, great value quality - price. We paid with credit card and it was not a problem.

We stayed at Sky of Thira for 2 weeks, my husband and 14 year old daughter and myself. This was a great central base to stay for traveling around the island, beaches to the South and Oia to the North and Caldera view just minutes away. The apartments are nicely decorated and very clean. Breakfast each morning was served poolside and was very pleasant with a lovely view to the South. The owner George, and staff Thomas and Laya are really nice people. Thira/Firostefani is a busy place with lots of scooters all part of the charm of Santorini. Enjoyed seeing the donkeys each evening returning to their farm after their days work.
