Callia Retreat is a gem. A boutique hotel nestled amongst similar sized hotels on the slopes below Fira , it is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and the busy lanes along the caldera rim. It is quiet and private and has views across the village houses on the slopes above as well as the sea to the east. The star is the beautiful pool setting. It won't disappoint and neither will the breakfast that is offered. The staff are all friendly, helpful and welcoming, and are happy to offer you any local tips and advise, or help with your arrangements that you might need. The whole place is spotless and they take pride in keeping it that way.
We had a wonderful stay here. It was just what we wanted.
