Outside the door
Clifftop art sanctuary

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Unlike the sprawling resorts with infinity pools, Tsitouras is comprised of just five freestanding houses situated on a cliff overlooking the sea.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the quiet clifftop path of Firostefani, the property sits a gentle stroll from the lively center of Fira.
The rooms
Individually styled suites feature vaulted ceilings and antique maritime artifacts, with private verandas looking directly over the caldera.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A freshwater pool sits on the cliffside Maria Callas Terrace, guarded by a bronze bust of the opera singer.
Dogs stay too.
How it began
Built in 1780 as a private mansion and schoolhouse, the estate was restored in 1985 to house a private antiquities collection.
