Beautiful property and excellent service. We had a wonderful experience. Dior was super helpful and welcoming. Hina also assisted us well during our stay and Zaheer helped us with our heavy luggages and transfers to and from the hotel to the airport. Great staff, location close to the centre of Fira plus very comfortable bed and facilities. I will stay here again and will not hesitate to recommend.

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).

Everyone was extremely genuinely friendly, which seems to be the way in the Cyclades. Of course, the breakfast was amazing, and it was in an open-air space protected from the sun. Actually, much of the hotel was open-air, including the reception desk. It was also just across the small road from the beach, and the hotel owns a stretch of beach just for the guests. It is well located to catch the sunrise, which can be spectacular, and even just walking around the neighborhood is interesting as there are a number of small farms and the like. Some ways down the beach are some excellent restaurants. You don't need a car at all if you are just coming to relax. The masseuse at the hotel did an excellent job on me. She could really dig in and get the knots out of my muscles. After my session, I didn't have any aches or pains at night as I otherwise so often do.

Socrates Room (Sunset Villa Socrates with Infinity Pool) is undoubtedly amazing with caldera views, private pool encompassing the mesmerizing Mediterranean Sea and the iconic Oia landscape. 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.

We came from Crete to Santorini and were greeted with a perfect island and accommodation experience at this hotel. We were lucky, because we couldn't have found a better place to experience a perfect sunset with a great dinner. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is always approachable and nice. The breakfast is also excellent with a surreal view. The apartment is special, it also had a nice jacuzzi inside. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use the outdoor pool, but next time we will stay longer, that's for sure. Top!

Fira and Oia are the heart of Santorini and both spectacular...

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.

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.

"We experienced deeply disappointing service during our stay at this hotel. Despite clearly specifying our vegan dietary preferences, we were served non-vegetarian breakfast options, which felt like a blatant disregard for our needs. The promised hot tub was unavailable throughout our four-day stay, with the hotel manager offering only excuses after check-in. Breakfast options were severely limited, and the absence of daily room cleaning further detracted from our experience. We also faced repeated issues with hot water for bathing, and upon arrival, we found that neither the washroom nor the room was properly secured or functional, despite our four-day booking. Located in a remote area, this hotel was highly inconvenient, requiring us to spend 50-60 euros daily just to access food or basic necessities. As an HVAC engineer, I found the manager’s claim of 'technical issues' with the heat pump for the hot tub unconvincing—there was no credible reason for it, suggesting cost-cutting rather than genuine problems. Had the owner or manager informed us of these issues beforehand, we could have canceled and chosen a different property. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. Instead, consider accommodations in Oia or Fira, where local transport is accessible and the experience is far more dependable."

We were there for just one night, having been on Ios (which was heaven!) for flight the following day. Lots of restaurants and a very 'lived in' feel to the area, as opposed to Fira and Oia which was rammed with tourists from the 3 giant cruise ships moored up!
