Location
About the surrounding area of Villa FiroVilla Firo is located in the heart of Santorini, one of the most sought-after destinations in the Greek Islands. Situated on the dramatic Caldera cliff in the upper part of Fira, close to the picturesque village of Firostefani, the villa offers an exceptional vantage point for exploring the island. At 300 metres above sea level, guests are treated to breathtaking views of the volcanic island, the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea, and the charming town of Fira.
Santorini is renowned for its striking landscapes, with white-washed buildings and narrow streets creating a stunning contrast against the vibrant blue sky. The island is a hub for culture, history, and natural beauty, with archaeological sites, traditional villages, and world-class wineries to discover. Fira, just a short walk from the villa, offers a vibrant selection of restaurants, shops, and cafes. For those seeking more tranquillity, the nearby Firostefani provides a quieter, more serene atmosphere while still being close to the island’s main attractions.

Region
Experience the romance of southern Santorini whether falling in love with Pyrgos, visiting the wineries of Megalochori, swimming from the volcanic shores of Red Beach or watching the sunset from Akrotiri Lighthouse.
Start your explorations by visiting the hilltop village of Pyrgos and be captivated by its charm and panoramic views. It’s here you can truly soak up the authenticity of Santorini without the tourist crowds of Oia, and the sunsets are still magical. The ruins of the Venetian Castle at the top of the village afford the most wonderful vistas across the island.
Another beautiful village is 17th century Megalochori, surrounded by vineyards and considered one of Santorini’s hidden gems. Stop off for lunch in a taverna in the main square and listen out for the chiming belltower. Be sure to visit one the village’s family-run wineries that produce Vinsanto, a sweet wine made from grapes left out to dry in the sun, then aged in oak barrels. Across past centuries the wine industry brought great wealth to this part of the island.
For change of scene, spend time by the beaches of the eastern coast – Perissa is considered the best beach resort in Santorini, sheltered from the island winds by Mesa Vouno. There’s sun beds and parasols along the beach, a range of watersports, seafood restaurants facing the sea and an overall laidback ambience across the town’s beachside bars.
Other unique coastal destinations include the volcanic pebbles of Red Beach and the dark rocks of Black Beach, both located on the south-west corner of the island. Southern Santorini is also home to the ancient site of Akrotiri and the incredible Akrotiri Lighthouse overlooking the edge of the caldera, an especially idyllic spot at sunset.

The villa's location is perfect for families, as it’s just a short walk from Fira, where you can explore charming streets, visit family-friendly restaurants, or enjoy a gelato together. The proximity to Firostefani ensures a quieter atmosphere when you're ready to retreat, while still being close to the island’s attractions. With safety, comfort, and accessibility in mind, Villa Firo offers a memorable holiday experience for families looking to enjoy the beauty of Santorini.
