Our stay at Kastelli was just perfect. The hotel was beautiful, spotlessly clean, in a great location, with great facilities. We were welcomed upon arrival, given a complimentary drink and then a short tour of the property. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a suite and we had spectacular views of the sunrise. The main pool was beautiful but there are also several smaller quite pools dotted around the property. Breakfast was great, lunch and drinks were great and all reasonably priced. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Location wise you cannot go wrong, you can exit the proprty from the rear and walk 2 mins along a well lit footpath that is perfectly safe to reach shops, restaurants, bars and the beach. Don't stay anywhere else in Kamari, this property is wonderful.

The accommodation was very clean, had A/C, comfortable bed, good hot shower, netflix, kitchen and living room, nice terrace,and situated down a quiet road , with a small supermarket at the top of it with all essentials you may need. A excellent location for all the restaurants, and 5 minute walk to the main bus station which services all. of Santorini also 13 minutes from the airport. Katerina the host, was available by phone and whats app for anything we needed and answered us very promptly, also we had a late flight, and she allowed us to stay much later than the checkout time , which enabled us to enjoy our last day! We really enjoyed our stay in Santozen Suites, and would definitely stay again, when we come back to Fira.

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 on 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).

Darlings- if you want to visit Santorini THIS is the place to stay. Period! Trust me- this is not some influencer bs (too old for that), honestly it is one of the very best places I have visited: ever!! We booked this holiday for my boyfriend's birthday and I must tell you that every single person working at Petras Honeymoon Villas did their super best to make our stay extra special! I will definitely recommend at least a 5h trip with a boat they organised for us- amazing swimming and food on the boat- wonderful crew, very knowledgeable; We also hired ATVs to explore the island for a full day- easy and super fun- the guy the hotel works with is great (Panos) the swimming pool and the killer views are definitely one of my favourite aspects of this unique property, but also we booked massages that we experienced in their "cave" room which was truly rewarding after our busy schedule :) The best part- Maria will advice you on the best places to visit for lunch and dinner and Dimitra will welcome you with a wonderful smile every morning! Efharisto poli to the whole team, we love you guys, this holiday was as good as a honeymoon :)) We will be back!

We stayed at this beautiful 4-star hotel in Santorini from June 14th to 22nd, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The location is absolutely magnificent, offering unbeatable views that truly capture the magic of Santorini. Our room featured a private terrace with a jacuzzi, creating a romantic and relaxing atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay. We especially want to highlight the afternoon and evening receptionist (unfortunately, we never caught his name) who fulfilled every request with a warm smile and genuine care, making us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was exquisite, with a great variety of fresh and delicious options. The transfer service was also excellent, punctual and comfortable, which made our arrival and departure hassle-free. In summary, despite these small inconveniences, the hotel’s stunning location, wonderful views, excellent service, and charming atmosphere made our stay memorable. We would definitely recommend it to couples looking for a romantic getaway in Santorini.

We absolutely loved our one night stay as everything was fabulous. The staff is really welcoming and helpful, the reception lady and Mickael were really nice. Our suite was beautiful and clean, very spacious. The bathtub inside was a delight, the bed was super confortable. The view from our big balcony with our personal pool, on the caldera, was breathtaking. We enjoyed a good cocktail (pricy but worth it) by the pool bar with its unbelievable scenery, before ordering room service from the restaurant. Everything was delicious, generous and fresh. The same perfect experience at breakfast : we had a beautiful view on the sea and the buffet was really, really good and varied (local small dishes such as tzatziki or vegetables canapés, local charcuteries and cheeses, eggs, bacon, croissants, puffed salted pastry, variety of breads and fruits, crudités, Greek yogurt bar, deserts and pâtisseries etc), it was absolutely perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer !

This hotel is in the top 3 of the hotels I have ever stayed at. It is better than Six Senses, Kempinski, The Ritz-Carlton, and HALEKULANI. Stella was kind enough to help me when I lost my passport. Vangelis was also kind enough to tell me about hotels, rooms, and Santorini, even though I knew nothing about them. There are so many great hotels in Santorini that it's hard to choose, but I highly recommend this hotel.

Kivotos Santorini is simply breathtaking — a sanctuary of style and serenity perched above the caldera. The architecture is striking, the interiors are beautifully curated, and the service is flawless. Waking up to those volcanic views felt surreal, and every moment was infused with peace, privacy, and understated luxury. It’s more than a stay — it’s an experience we’ll never forget.

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.

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...

"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."

Akrotiri is a peaceful and beautiful part of Santorini, away from the busy tourist areas. It has an authentic local atmosphere, great views, and easy access to the Red Beach and the famous archaeological site. Ideal for those who love history, nature and quiet holidays.
