Where to stay in Santorini
Best neighborhoods for luxury hotels
For those dreaming of a little pampering, Oia is the quintessential choice with its world-famous sunsets and swanky suites. It's like a postcard come to life! Imerovigli offers a more secluded vibe but still keeps that opulent charm and stunning caldera views. And let's not forget Firostefani, where luxury meets the heart of Santorini without the busloads of tourists.
Top areas for romantic hotels
If whispering sweet nothings with a view is on the agenda, the Caldera Cliffside is the place to be, offering some of the most romantic hotels in Santorini for honeymoons. For a quieter romantic escape, Akrotiri blends history with heart-stopping vistas — perfect for couples who want to feel like they're the only ones in the world.
Family-friendly hotel zones
For those traveling with kids, Kamari Beach and Perissa Beach are the go-to spots. These areas are not only family-friendly but also provide plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. Think sandy beaches, safe swimming, and a dash of adventure!
Convenient locations for nightlife
Looking to dance the night away? Fira is the vibrant hub of Santorini nightlife, packed with bars and clubs where the party doesn't stop until dawn. Perivolos offers a more laid-back scene with beachfront bars — perfect for sipping cocktails under the stars.
Beach access accommodations
For those who want to roll out of bed and onto the sand, Perissa Beach and Kamari Beach offer the best beachfront hotels in Santorini. These areas are ideal for sun worshippers who want easy access to the sea and a sunbed with their name on it.
