Not just for the rich and famous!
Let's get this off our chest. The hotels are to Santorini what the pyramids are to Egypt or the Eiffel tower to Paris, it is worth going for that experience alone!
Until we discovered Santorini we never paid much attention to the hotel we were staying in, let alone ever considered it a highlight of our trip.
For us, it was simply a place to sleep between all the daily activities, and nothing we thought of as an integral part of our vacation experience.
But that was before Santorini!
Without a doubt, some of our fondest memories from our visits are linked to the Santorini hotels we have stayed in.
This is by no means a coincidence.
Simple and friendly hospitality is so deeply rooted in the way of living here and nowhere is it more tangible than in the Santorini hotels.
Combine this with the unmistakable pride that Santorini hotel managers and staff take in providing you with an unforgettable and unique service, and you should have yourself a world-class hotel experience.
Are there no exceptions? Sure there are. Even the sun has its dark spots! We have heard and seen very bad examples of hotel management on Santorini.
But if you do just a little bit of research before you go, your odds are very good for a great hotel experience.
Why not let us help you? Browse our recommended hotels and when you find something that attracts you, rest assured that this is a hotel with a very good reputation.
Santorini hotel categories and prices
Santorini is famous for its high concentration of exclusive high end hotels.
You should not let this fact intimidate you, though, if you are on a budget. For the informed traveller there are always options, and Santorini is certainly no exception.
Let us start by defining the price categories we will be using on this site:
- Private Santorini Villas(> €500)
- Luxury Santorini Hotels(> €300)
- Class A Santorini Hotels(> €200-300)
- Class B Santorini Hotels(€100-200)
- Cheap Santorini Hotels(€50-100)
Price ranges listed above are based on high season prices for one night in a standard room or villa that sleeps at least 2 people.
Keep in mind that price vary a great deal with the location of the hotel.
You will pay considerably more for a room in a hotel situated on the volcano side than you will for a similar room in a hotel located on the eastern side.
Our categories are based on price alone and does not take into account the hotel location.
