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. 
There are two types of units, studios and maisonettes. All units (named after the 9 Musses) have bathroom with shower,
private balcony, Jacuzzi (indoor or outdoor), mini bar, A/C, DVD player,
telephone, Internet connection, safe deposit box, satellite TV with 4
international channels and Filmnet, bathrobes and slippers. The studios are on
the ground floor, are open plan, with one double bed and a sofa bed that is
easily converted into a comfortable extra bed. The maisonettes are on the second
floor and have two levels: on the upper level is the bedroom with one double bed
and on the lower level is the living area with the sofa beds. Thalia, Urania and
Melpomene have 2 bathrooms with shower. Terpsichore has one bathroom and one WC.
General facilities include a very well equipped gym and a steam room (hamam).
The breakfast is served in the room at the hour designated by the guests and
includes a long list (30 in total) of items. The guests are given the list from
the day before and they can choose every day what they would like to have for
breakfast.
