The staff were extremely helpful. Our ferry was cancelled and they were assisting to contact the ferry company, booking/cancelling transfers and accommodating us another night. The resort is beautiful and quiet while being close to a strip of restaurants along the beach.

They were exceptional in accepting our last min reservation, as our ferry to depart the island got canceled that morning. We didn't know what to do and found availability there. They graciously helped us and were very kind as we had to walk our luggage to their location that morning. They even helped us figure out where to go and make new travel arrangements. Rooms were perfect and excellent location to walk to the main shopping areas.

The property is in the perfect village of Pyrgos above the bustle and grime of the main city. The facilities are quite beautiful with outlooks over the water and the village. The restaurant was recommended independently by several locals who didn’t realise I was staying on site. Great food, generous staff and lovely atmosphere. Above all else, the kindness of the young couple at the helm of this enterprise was memorable. I was offered advice, assistance, suggestions and smiles from the beginning of my stay to days after it. What a dynamic pair of delightful human beings. Worth every minute and would definitely return!

Santorini Highlights

Watch the sunset in Oia

Oia’s stunning blue roofs and whitewashed buildings are an instantly recognisable scene. Sunset around the castle attracts flocks of budding photographers daily.

Museum of Prehistoric Thera

Set in historic Fira, this fascinating museum tells the story of the island’s prehistoric periods through exhibitions of pottery, ancient tools and weapons.

Cable car ride from Fira's Old Port

If you’re not afraid of heights, catch the cable car from Fira’s Old Port up to the town. The 3-minute climb offers stunning sea views.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site

Destroyed during the island’s volcanic eruption and excavated in 1967, the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri is said to have been Plato's inspiration for Atlantis.

Kamari's open-air cinema

Listed as one of Europe’s best, Kamari’s open-air cinema offers the chance to kick back in a deck chair with a cocktail under the stars.

Perissa and Perivolos' beaches

The 7-km-long Perissa Beach is recognisable by its volcanic black sands and the imposing Mesa Vouno Mountain, which emerges from its crystal-clear waters.

Wine tasting in Pyrgos

Pyrgos’ hilltop setting provides a great spot for sampling celebrated Santorini wines, accompanied by spectacular sea views.

Santorini's Red Beach

This small beach’s striking red volcanic sands and rock formations hug a piece of secluded coastline south of Akrotiri.

Santorini's volcano and Thirasia Island

No visit to Santorini would be complete without a trip over to its volcano and hot springs, followed by a traditional meal on Thirisia Island.

FAQs about hotels in Santorini

A Greek Island Dream

Imagine a typical Greek island with whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and sloping cliffs, and the chances are that you’re thinking of Santorini. Protectively curving around 4 other islands in its archipelago, this volcanic island has fertile ground bringing forth lovely rosé wine and some of the sweetest cherry tomatoes you’ll ever taste.

High on a caldera shelving into the sea, the capital Fira overlooks the cruise liners plying the turquoise Aegean waters below. North is Imerovigli, home to several 5-star Santorini hotels with fantastic views.

Also providing amazing views is the accommodation in Oia across the bay. Cascading down the slopes, the sea of white here is only dispersed by vibrant pink flowers, blue domes and the brown of ancient windmills, all becoming black silhouettes as the sun sets.

Santorini Airport is on the other side of the island and 2 resorts south of it – Kamari and Perissa – have the best, black sand beaches. However, the most visually impressive is Red Beach at Akrotiri where the stunning red colour of the caldera and sand makes the trek down the rockface well worth it. Just time it right to avoid high tide! Also near Akrotiri are excavations of a Minoan era settlement.

Wherever you choose to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of B&Bs, apartments and hotels in Santorini (Thira in Greek).

This is a very unique hotel which is designed as if you are staying within a cave on the island of Santorini. The views were incredible. Our room had an outdoor hot tub as well as an indoor cave pool. The staff was incredibly kind and professional, and romantically decorated our room for our honeymoon. They were also very accommodating and helpful, and helped us book a professional photoshoot as well as a boat tour. The breakfast was also incredible and they gave us the option of having it delivered to our room to eat on our outdoor sitting area. We also really enjoyed that Kivotos was in a quieter part of the island (Imerovigli), and it was so so peaceful We are so happy we spent our 3 nights in Santorini at Kivotos!

Not only is she super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable she really goes out of her way to make your trip the most it can be. All the staff were lovely and polite and housekeeping went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The room was spacious and clean and the plunge pool was the perfect remedy for the heat. We will definitely be returning to this property as it is in a perfect location. Yes you don’t get the sunset view but to be honest that was a blessing. Cross the road and take a maximum of 20 steps and you are on the Caldera side to appreciate the sunset without a hoard of tourists walking past your room.

It is probably the best location for a luxurious hotel experience with spectacular views and sunsets in Santorini. And the design and decor are just wonderful. But the true advantage of this hotel is the manager Mr. Manos and his staff which will make a stay exceptionally special and unforgetful. And don‘t miss booking a day cruise on the hotel‘s own Van Dutch 44 which will let you see Santorini from a different perspective. Again, special thanks to Mr. Manos and his great character who made the trip with all our requests so special that we would return just for him to Santorini and Cavo Tagoo.

Breakfast is delicious and high-quality and of course with caldera view. However, there is no Asian menu. You can enjoy the view while having breakfast started from 8am. Staffs service are excellent. From warm welcomes upon arrival to personalized concierge services and going above and beyond to resolve any issues, the staff consistently creates an exceptional and memorable stay.

Fira and Oia are the heart of Santorini and both spectacular. Fira has more to offer in terms of restaurants and shops, but Oia is even more picturesque and unique. I was happy to have stayed in Fira given its more centralized location, but it would be tragic to stay here and not also spend some time in Oia. Keep in mind that both towns are built on very steep and uneven terrain. While the main shopping lanes are relatively level, many hotels and other businesses require significant physical effort to access, so choose your accommodations with this in mind if you have any mobility issues.

Oia is all about the view. Spectacular. It is packed with tourists for a well deserved reason. It is totally touristy, expensive, but we can overlook that and the crowds because of that view. Finikia, just adjacent is much quieter. Still, Oia is Oia, only one. Very much recommend Roka restaaurant.

We put a lot of thought into the location. We deemed Oia too busy and crowded and Fira as possibly too noisy. Imeroviglia was our ultimate choice and it turned out to be the right one; the best views, great places to stay, delicious restaurants nearby. We would recommend it to anyone who wanted a second (or first) honeymoon. It was that magical.

Having stayed two weeks in Perissa, I dare say I know it a bit. It's a great mix of not too big of a town, plenty of groceries shopping spots, Restaurants with some great offers, nice beaches (even though one has to get used to black sand) and cultural spots like a very nice Orthodox Church and some historic ruins if you dare to hike a bit. It's wasn't too crowded either, so if you consider going, do so Early - Mid September.
