Overview
Santorini’s volcanic landscape, with its distinctive black cliffs rising from the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, offers a striking natural setting. At Villa Theras, guests can enjoy a private and unobstructed view of the island, dining on the terraces while watching the sunset over the Mediterranean.
Located in a quiet neighbourhood at the highest point of Fira, the villa is surrounded by lush gardens and built in the neoclassical style, replacing an original 18th-century structure. The spacious property accommodates up to eight guests, consisting of a main house and a separate studio, offering privacy for groups travelling together.
The high cross-vaulted ceilings add a traditional architectural element while creating a sense of openness and space. The lounge features large windows and doors that lead to the veranda, offering an expansive view.

The villa provides a peaceful retreat, with a shaded courtyard and sun loungers for relaxation after a day exploring Santorini. Guests can experience the island’s historical and architectural sites, swim in the open sea, or unwind in the villa’s infinity jacuzzi.
The Studio, located next to the Main House, offers a comfortable space to unwind after a day at the beach or exploring the island. It features a private entrance for easy access. Inside, there is a bright and airy double bedroom with unique decorative elements, an en-suite bathroom, a kitchenette, and a private veranda with an outdoor seating area.
Whether for a family vacation or a getaway with friends, this villa combines comfort and elegance, providing a relaxing space for an enjoyable stay in Santorini.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa TherasSantorini is the most southern island of the Cyclades, lying between Ios and Anafi.
It covers an area of 96 square kilometers, and measures 18km from the northern to southern tip. Its width varies from 1,3 km at the narrowest point to 6 km at the widest. The permanent population of 13.000 people lives in 14 villages. It is situated 130 nautical miles from Piraeus in the north and 70 nautical miles from Crete in the South.
The west coast of Santorini ends in a steep precipice – known as a Caldera, which is 300 to 400 meters deep and up to 300 meters high. The cliffs surrounding Caldera range in height from 150 – 300 meters.
villa Theras is situated on the highest archipelago with views overlooking most of the island, including Aspronisi, Palea and Nea Kameni and Thirasea. The villa is positioned in an historical part of Fira. It takes approximately 10 minutes on foot along the most beautiful foot path to reach the centre of the capital of Santorini. Due to the size of the island the main touristic beaches and villages are within an easily managable, 5 - 20 kilometer radius.

Region
Capture that picture-perfect shot of white-washed houses, windmills and terraces backed by the incredible caldera. Fairytale style Oia is on the north-western tip of Santorini Island and is also famed for its romantic sunset as the charming village glows in hues of pink, purple, orange and yellow.
In a perched position with rugged cliffs below, the pedestrianised village of Oia is utterly enchanting. Explore the narrow lanes with boutiques, souvenir shops, cave houses and taverna terraces, follow twisting cobbled staircases and come across glimpses of the famous blue domes of Agios Spyridon Church, the ruins of Agios Nikolaos Castle and the glistening water.
The most energetic of guests can brave the steep steps down to Ammoudi Bay, a charming little fishing village with tavernas serving fresh seafood by the water’s edge. There’s a little rocky bay within a short hike where you can sit and watch courageous tourists jump from the cliffs as yachts sail by.
Visitors from across the island gather on Oia’s iconic terraces at sunset. To avoid the crowds, there are many other beautiful places where you can get the perfect photo as evening nears – book a sunset cruise or a kayaking excursion, venture up to Mávro Vounó Hill or discover another spot along the rugged western coast facing the caldera and its islands.
Beyond Oia, discover the most stunning vistas of the caldera by following the 10km long hiking path to Fira, walking along the rim of the caldera with the steep volcanic cliffs below, gazing out towards the volcanic islands. The sunken caldera is one of the oldest natural wonders of the world, formed during a devastating volcanic eruption in the Minoan era. Pack good walking shoes (some parts of the trail are more challenging than others), plenty of water and head off early or late to avoid the heat of the midday sun – the scenery is absolutely incredible (especially heading back towards the north-west at sunset).
As you approach the end of the hike, stop off in Imerovigli and climb the village steps for views of domes, belltowers and bougainvillea-clad terraces, again backed by the captivating caldera, then continue on to Fira, the welcoming capital of Santorini Island.
Kids
Best Suited For: TeensVilla Theras welcomes children over 12 years old.
With lots of scenic walking and bike trails, plenty of beautiful calm swimming beaches and exciting historic sites, Skopelos is the perfect holiday destination for families with older children.
Teens will enjoy exploring the two towns on the island; Pyrgos is built on a hill with an old castle on top and fantastic views. Emporio is flatter and smaller, but both offer plenty of opportunities to get happily lost. The cobbled streets of Oia and Fira may also be of interest. Ice cream, crepes, and a few stories about exploding volcanoes will add to the experience. Periss has a good selections of watersports.
There is the Kamari open air cinema. The movies aren't always kid-friendly, so check the schedule in advance, but they're usually popular movies in English (with Greek subtitles).
Swimming spots such as Kamari Beach, Perissa Black Beach and the famous Red Beach will provide an excellent day out too.

Beautiful Stay!
I've never had a more relaxing, beautiful stay in my life! Our group of seven was so incredibly comfortable and extremely well-taken care of by Konstantinos and Nadia. The house and grounds were even bigger than we thought - with four patios, including the studio area, and every room was very spacious with plenty of places to store your things and spread out. You MUST splurge for the breakfast service because the delicious spread you receive every morning is so, so fresh and beautiful! We'd often pack up the leftovers to bring on our afternoon excursions. Nadia is so warm and lovely and cleans up after you every morning which is such a refreshing treat. Konstantinos is extremely knowledgeable and sweet and he can plan your whole vacation in a heartbeat! Definitely take him up on his recommendations, you'll be so happy you did. I can't say enough good things - we will definitely be coming back!

Perfect Villa!
We stayed at Villa Theras in late April/early May 2023, and had the most incredible trip thanks to Constantinos and the staff at the villa. Our group was a mix of age ranges and some guests had mobility concerns, and the villa worked perfectly for us.
The staff at Villa Theras went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Constantinos handled all the van arrangements to and from restaurants, towns, and dinner. He made himself available to us for the entire stay to help arrange cars and tours. It truly made the trip much more incredible to have him assist. Being familiar with our mobility and accessibility needs, he communicated to all the drivers and restaurants our needs. Also, the breakfast served daily by Nadia and Joanna really makes the stay unique. Not only is it delicious, it made us feel like family. We even met the owner during our stay and he seemed genuinely interested in ensuring we had the most optimal Santorini experience.
For guests with mobility concerns (e.g. limited ability to walk or climb stairs), please note a short number of steps is still required to access the villa from the car drop-off point, so it’s not fully accessible (i.e. no wheelchair access). But if you’re traveling with people who can walk on their own for short distances and/or with a cane, you’ll likely have minimal issues at Villa Theras. Once inside the villa, two bedrooms are on the main floor (1 or 2 steps to access, so still minimal) making it easy for those that can’t climb up a flight of stairs. The living room, terraces, kitchen and bathroom are all accessed via the main floor. Lastly, when arranging for tours, vans are able to pick you up directly from the villa making it easy for people with mobility issues to still enjoy the Santorini experience without having to miss out.
For those without mobility concerns, it’s a beautiful and short walk to Fira. Staying on the northern part of Fira meant you’re closer to local shops and restaurants, whereas the southern part of Fira seemed a bit more of the tourist epicentre. It also means that you’re on a higher part of the island which gives you even more incredible views of the caldera. I know a lot of my review was focused on how accommodating our stay was for people with mobility concerns, but I’d still recommend this stay for people without mobility concerns. All of the places in town seemed smaller, less private, and had limited views of the caldera. The villa terrace gives you almost 180 degrees view of the caldera and neighbouring towns.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
