Gardenia Hotel Santorini

Good location for sightseeing

The Gardenia is a basic hotel, very clean and friendly. It is in a very good location, a few steps to the beach, restaurants, and buses. This is a good side of the island to stay, Perissa is a flat area, suitable for people with walking difficulties. If you can manage it, the local bus will take you to the more scenic side of the island, ( at little cost ) Thira, and Oia, can both be reached in a very short time, though you do need to get another bus from Thira to Oia. The scenery at both places, is a photographers dream. One draw back with both places, the cruise liners, and their many passengers, fill these little towns, when they dock for a day. This is another good reason to stay on the quieter side of the island.

Unique Quality: The Gardenia has a lovely pool area, with a small bar. Snacks can also be obtained. This property also has studios, so if you want to self cater, or take B. and B. either is good value for money. We have been twice to the Gardenia, and both times very satisfied. The manager is very helpfull, polite and friendly. The area by the hotel is also quiet. There is a water park opposite, and a lovely reasonable restaurant a short distance up the road.
