Fanari Villas Santorini

Founded in 1991 by Manolis Darzentas, Fanari Villas Santorini stands as an icon of traditional Cycladic charm and luxury hospitality on the cliffs of Santorini’s Caldera. Embracing the rich history of Oia, the resort reflects the heritage of its founder, a descendant of the esteemed Darzentas’ and Barbarigos’ families.

Manolis, an architect by profession, returned to his beloved Oia in the 1990s to create Fanari Villas, drawing inspiration from his family’s legacy and the island’s natural beauty. The resort’s name, “Fanari,” meaning lighthouse in Greek, pays homage to the vanished stone lighthouse that once graced the area before the earthquake of 1956.

Perched on the northern cliffs of Santorini, the Fanari Villas are characterized by whitewashed exteriors adorned with lime green accents. The multi-level complex features Santorini-style cave suites, handcrafted wooden furniture, and stone-tiled beds, creating inviting spaces for guests to relax and unwind.
