MATI Art Gallery Fira — Attraction in Municipality of Thira

"My family and I recently visited MATI Art Gallery during our trip to Fira, Santorini, and it was truly one of the highlights of our holiday! Located in the heart of Fira, the gallery itself is a gem amidst the stunning Cycladic architecture and breathtaking caldera views that make this area so special. The exhibition was absolutely captivating – each artwork told a story and showcased incredible talent and creativity. We found ourselves drawn into every piece, spending far longer than we'd planned simply because we were so engrossed in the collection. The curation was thoughtful, and the space itself provided the perfect setting to appreciate the art. What really elevated our visit, though, was the exceptional service from Diana and Isabel. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, sharing their passion for the gallery whilst also taking the time to offer us wonderful recommendations for restaurants, hidden spots, and things to see around Fira and the wider island. Their local knowledge and genuine hospitality made such a difference to the rest of our stay in Santorini. If you're visiting Fira, MATI Art Gallery is an absolute must. Thank you, Diana and Isabel, for making us feel so at home and for creating such a memorable...

The attitude was suggesting that I can only purchase one necklace not more. Just a very terrible experience!

I did purchase one thing in the end despite the service because I love to design. But I really don’t recommend this place. Please improve your service or...

Visiting Mati Art Gallery is a feast for the eyes and a ‘must-visit’ for anyone who can appreciate artistry, ingenuity and skill. It’s filled with intricate, mesmerising art that draws you in and reveals greater depth and beauty the longer you look. The whole experience was the highlight of our holiday in Santorini and will be a treasured memory we will be reminded of every time we look at our stunning pieces. We loved spending time with you Alex, Stelios and Eleftheria at your beautiful gallery. Thank you all again for being such great company and for your patience and good humour while we took up so much...
