Empiria Group is proud to share that Istoria, a Member of Design Hotels, has been awarded One Michelin Key for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its place among the hotels recognized by the MICHELIN Guide for their exceptional hospitality and distinctive sense of place.

‍

Unfolding from the black sand shores of Perivolos to the rugged cliffs of Firostefani, Istoria is a 21-suite and villa retreat. More than a hotel, it is a way to create your own paradise, bringing together sea and sky, grounding and elevation, beach and caldera.

The two distinct locations invite guests to experience Santorini beyond its familiar landmarks. At Istoria Beach, twelve suites openonto the island’s volcanic black sand, while Istoria Cliff comprises nine suites within traditional cave-house forms overlooking the caldera and Aegean Sea. Together, they reflect the ways that define both Santorini and Istoria complemented by sea and sky, earth and elevation.

‍
Retaining the One Michelin Key for a second consecutive year is a meaningful recognition of Istoria’s continued commitment to creating an experience that is deeply rooted in its surroundings, while remaining distinctly its own. At Istoria, every stay becomes a chapter of its own, written between sea, sky and earth, and shaped by the elemental spirit of Santorini.
