The hotel is located 655 ft from the centre of Thira, 4 miles from the airport and the port of Athinios.
The rooms are double or triple, in an atmosphere of grey and blue. Around a large, comfortable bed, you will find everything necessary for your comfort: a small dressing table of marble, a mini bar, satellite television, a telephone and a safe (for free). Everything is arranged neatly and cleanly. The bathrooms, very clean, are quite spacious and equipped with personal skin care products, a hair dryer (in all rooms), a bathtub or a shower and a large mirror.
The hotel entrance opens with a nice reception area and then you enter a patio from where you can see to the three floors where 50 rooms and 2 suites are arranged. The area of the swimming pool is very pleasant and quite intimate, with plants surrounding it. It is thus isolated from the road running to the city. The poolside bar and the nice restaurant let you dine in a pretty setting. You should note that the hotel has made a good effort to decorate well, and the result is welcoming.
The restaurant with accommodation for some 50 seats, is spacious and pleasant, nicely decorated. Breakfast is served American buffet style from 8 AM to 10:30 AM. At lunch and dinner you are offered Greek specialties from the a la carte menu. The tables have pretty tablecloths, the decor is refined and bay-windows open onto the terrace which overlooks the pool. Lunch takes place from 12:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner is served from 7:30 PM to 11 PM.
The nearest beach is that of Monolithos, on the eastern coast of the island, 4 miles away.
The Kallisti Thera is a beautiful urban hotel, ideal for indulging in the entertainment available in Thira and taking walks around the island.
