Centuries ago, a volcanic eruption followed by a devastating explosion sculptured the sharp cliffs and brought about this unique spectacle of Santorini, the Caldera.
On this sunlit island, Santorini, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, in the picturesque village of Firostefani, one can find Ira Hotel. Situated a quiet and tranquil location, in close vecinity to the volcano and perched high on the very edge of the Caldera, the hotel offers a spectacular panoramic view of the volcanic isles, the far horizon and the deep blue sea.
We have built, rennovated and upgraded, with all respect to the local architecture, a complex of luxurious, traditionally styled apartments and suites, Ira Hotel.

Ira Hotel is built in a quite and tranquil location in the picturesque village of Firostefani on the island of Santorini, on the edge of the Caldera cliff, 200 m above the Aegean Sea, opposite the volcano, with a panoramic view of the island of Thirassia, the small volcanic islets and the magical sunset.
From the capital, Fira it is a few minutes walking distance by the path on the edge of the Caldera enjoying the view along the way. At a close distance are restaurants and cafeterias, and at a close walking distance are the bus stop, a public parking area and a mini market.
