We know that many of you have difficulties on making decision in which hotel to stay in Santorini or in which area etc. That is the reason why we wrote down some very useful tips about hotels in Santorini and some issues you will need to know. We hope that it will make your life easier on finding the best accommodation suggestion for you.
First of all the locations of the hotels are divided into 4 main categories; caldera view hotels, beach hotels, traditional settlement hotels and city hotels. The hotels facing the sea view of the caldera are located on the western part of the island, just on top of the cliffs. Depending on the location of each one, they may face the Volcano, Thirassia, the sunset view or a combination of the above. All the villages located in the west coast of Santorini have a part that faces the caldera. These villages are (from North to south) Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Fira, Megalochori and Akrotiri. Most of those hotels are luxury with outstanding views and special facilities to their clients, like infinity style swimming pool or jacuzzi, spa, massage services, wi-fi internet access and more…
Beach hotels can be found all along the coastline of Santorini, i.e. on the east side of the island. Baxedes, Pori, Vourvoulos, Karterados, Monolithos, Agia Paraskevi, Kamari, Perissa, Perivolos, Vlihada and Akrotiri are villages that feature beaches on that side of the island. Most popular beach hotels can be found on Perissa – Perivolos beach or at Kamari.
Hotels located in traditional settlements, (like Megalochori, Karterados and Emporio) do not necessarily face the sea view, but they offer the guest the experience of living in a well-preserved traditional village and following the old-times rhythms. Also have in mind that City hotels, like those located in Fira (not in the caldera side), are conveniently located in the city centre, so you can find anything within walking distance.
