Santorini Hotel Matina: Very friendly Santorini Hotel

Hi,

For many years, i was hearing what a beautiful place Greece is and such an amazing island Santorini is. Finally, last April I managed to get a week of vacation from work and I left for Greece :). Waow, what an experience! I stayed 2 days in Athens which is just a big city with a faboulous old town, Acropolis and history. Then I went to Mykonos for 2 days. It was a very beautiful island with great sandy beaches. My last stop was Santorini and that is where I fell in love. I couldn't imagine such a beautiful place existed. The view to the cliffs is unforgettable. It has exceptional black, red and white beaches. Santorini also has a great history with its volcano and its historical eruptions. People say it was the "lost Atlantis" which they have stories and histories to prove it with. I stayed in a small boutique hotel called "Hotel Matina" which was in the center of Kamari Village, in a small, quiet garden with flowers. The swimming pool and the pool bar was nice to relax after my tour of Santorini. The family that runs Hotel Matina is very friendly and helpful. I certainly recommend everyone to visit Greece and enjoy specifically Athens and Santorini.

Unique Quality: Swimming pool, pool bar, highspeed internet, very central and amazingly friendly and helpful staff.

Maria Preka Hotel.: Nice middle class hotel in Kamari.

Maria Preka hotel in Kamari is a classic greek family run hotel when it´s kept very tidy.
I came upon it by chance and stayed there for two nights and liked it a lot.
There is nothing extravagant about the place, but it´s spotless clean and run by a nice eldery couple who take good care of the place.
There is a pool and a nice garden there and the owners are real nice in their own quiet and laid back way.
This place really suits a couple that want a decent but economical place to stay where things are quiet and nice.

New Haroula hotel.: Excellent family run hotel in Fira.

The New Haroula Hotel is a brilliant 3 star hotel located in Fira a little down the hill from the caldera.
It´s a very cosy place run by a nice family and the hotel has a very nice garden with pool and all the rooms have balconies facing that garden.
The rooms are not the biggest in the world, but the nice decor and the nice facilities make up for that big time.
They serve breakfast nex to the reception and the atmosphere there is very pleasant.
This is the kinda place i would recommend to people seeking greek charm and good comfort without breaking the bank totally.

Hotel Amelie, Perissa: Santorini's best hideaway

Small, intimate. Immaculately clean. Marios and Viki were helpful, sociable and friendly.

Perissa is off the beaten track in Santorini, yet it has all you need in a holiday location.

This hotel is just 5 minutes walk from the beach, and if that seems like an effort in the hot sun, then stay around the pool. Neither is it on a noisy main road, and far enough from the front to avoid the noise from the occasional loud bar.

80 euro a night when booked in advance. I think it's cheaper if you tip up, but of course it may be full.

Unique Quality: New building. Well maintained and run.

• Opinion of Price: less expensive than average
• Address: Just 100m from the main road on the left before the village centre.

Marizan Caves & villas, Oia- Santorini: The Best Sunset view in Oia

Marizan- in one word is a magical place and the owner yanni really goes out of the way to make you feel welcome and make your stay memorable for life! This is a small speciality Lodging, the rooms have been cut out into the cliffs. So they are all cave houses and have pvt sitting areas.

I was there for 3 nights with my parents- age early 60s and my husband. We reached very early at around 8:00 am. and called Yanni from the liyoyerma car park and there he was to help us with all our luggage that early. Yanni had upgraded us and we got one romantic cave house for the Parents and the got an upgrade and got The private cave house.

The Pvt cave house: is one of the most romantic places especially when the sun sets and you know you have the most glorious view possible in oia. The room is very spacious with all amenities and comforts and a grrt breakfast is served every morning- includes cold cuts (Turkey) Cheese, bread of your choice and milk/ juice etc.

Yannis is there to guide you about every thing and he is sooo warm and genuine, i cannot believe people like him exist in this world. He guided us in detail, post welcoming us about the island and the places to eat, places to see, things we must not miss etc.

Marizan is a quick walk from the oia centre. yes there are a few steps to reach the rooms but my parents who are in thr early 60s had no issues and for the hospitality, the rooms, the views and the sunset those few steps are something one should completely ignore! LOVED MARIZAN...and i really wish i could spend the rest of my life in that pvt cave house! I actually cried the morning I was checking-out! If in Oia, this is the place to be!

Unique Quality: The rooftop has a gorgeous little hot tub from whre the sunset is glorious. MArizan is at the tip of Oia. So till the sun dissolves into the sea, you get an unhindered view of the sunset and there cannot be any property or people infront of you to ruin the views.

Irini Villas: A Lucky Find in Santorini

We booked this accommodation, sight unseen, on the recommendtion of a travel agent in Athens. I was a bit nervous, despite being easy about accommodation.
However, what a wonderful surprise it was.
The only slight- and I mean slight, drawback was that there are some steps to negotiate to get down to the villas. Because it is, like most places with a marvellous view, built on the cliffside.
We had totally a self-contained flatlet- bedroom (smallish but very cosy) sitting/diningroom and good bathroom. Floors were tiled , with scatter carpets. TV & phone.
I really enjoyed the rustic feel. But most of all, we had a private balcony, with the most perfect view of the Caldera, and cruise ships passing in and out the bay.
There was a shared (for guests) patio also, below us, with comfortable recliners and tables etc.
There is a small pool/jacuzzi type.
Breakfast was served to us every morning, on the patio- simple but wholesome Greek breakfasts. Fruit, yoghurt, eggs as ordered, cold meats , olives and tomatoes. (greek tomatoes are the very best I have ever tasted)
Irini Villas is in Imorovegli, a brisk 10-15min walk from Fira- where most of the shops & resturants are. Its a lovely cliffside walk, with amazing views and a sea breeze. We did that walk twice a day, and enjoyed it immensly.
The service at Irinis is fine. Friendly but unobtrusive.Helpful regarding car-hire and directions etc.
We bought fresh fruit and vegs, milk, bread and cheese and had evening meals on the patio, and it does not get much better than that, for relaxation- for me anyway.

Unique Quality: The views the views! and I loved the fact that this place was fully equipped with everything that we needed. Bed was very comfortable.
I also liked that our balcony was private- we had a family next door never saw or heard them, although I knew they were there.

PERISSA CAMPING: It's like a Resort Club with Loud Music

It is like a club with very loud music around the pool. The loud music stops at midnight during weekdays. During the weekend visitors can hear the very loud music coming from Thira night clubs till 6:00 am.

Refrigerator is full of bags. The ground is hard and dusty when walking.
You need to bring your cooking stuff as there is no real place for cooking.

The camping price is high and for a party of 5 with 2 tents, the cost was 60euros per night.

You can easily find a pension in Perissa with a few Euros more!
