Reviews of Galatia Villas
Lisa Korpiewski
Lovely little place to stay. A little out of the center of Fira but within easy walking distance to the Fira center.

The hot tub was nice to enjoy every evening after walking all day! Would stay here again!

Amazing hotel! The staff at the reception was so nice and helped us very good. There is also a jacuzzi at the roof it’s amazing! The rooms were cleaned everyday so that was really nice too. It’s around 10 min walk from the center and there is also a pool! :)

He even gave us a map and plenty of helpful advice for exploring the area. Parking was super convenient, only a 2-minute walk away. If you're visitin...

Very nice accommodation. Prices were good and the staff member was very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing. Bus and town are a walkable distance. The place also has a small pool. My room had basic amenities such as a kettle and fridge.
