Santorini - Stavros Villas

 

Welcome to Stavros VillasStavros Villas in Santorini is a small family run hotel in Karterados, a peaceful traditional village on the outskirts of Fira town, the island capital.

Stavros Villas offers its guests traditional Greek hospitality with modern comforts for unforgettable holidays in Santorini. Our swimming pool is the perfect place to take a cool refreshing dip and sunbathe on warm summer days. Next to the reception is the breakfast and lounge area with a television. Complimentary Transfers to and from the port and airport are available with our hotel mini bus.

The traditional village of Karterados is built beside a stream in a ravine. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century. The original dwellings are cave houses built deep into the rock face. During the 19th century, it was one of the large sea captain villages on the island. The name of the village comes from the Greek word 'karteri' = waiting point or ambush point, probably because ambushes were set to trap marauding pirates. Karterados is 15 minutes walk from Fira the capital. Centrally situated on the island, the area starts from the main road that leads to Fira and reaches all the way down to the beach and the east coast of Santorini.

The village square has a traditional windmill and a memorial plaque to commemorate those who died in the Second World War. On the left hand side as you leave the square, the road curves sharply to the left, and there you will discover the 'Steps of Galaios'. Barely visible from the main road is a small neighbourhood of cobbled streets, Captains houses and cave houses built into the rock.
