Hidden Gem
Hidden Gem"The property was really a hiding gem. It has a beautiful view to the ocean to see the sun rise with your coffee on hand . The jacuzzi was a plus with hot summer in Santorini, it has plenty space for a family of 4. The cave is very unique and we were very comfortable. Also is very close to shops, restaurants and the caldera and bus stations, just walking distance. We love it."

FEGGARI APARTMENTS
FEGGARI APARTMENTS"Loved the apartment and the beautiful ocean views. The staff communicated effectively with us and helped when needed. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The room was cool on its own but we did have an AC. I would stay again. The only warning is that it is located down several flights of stairs. If you have heavy luggage or need accommodations this would be a challenging spot to get to. Loved the area though. It was quieter than Oia and I thought even more beautiful."

Top Fira Hotel Reviews
Afrodete Hotel
"We had an excellent stay at this hotel! The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we had all the information we needed. What really stood out was how attentive they were to any issues we raised โ they made sure everything was addressed and resolved promptly. Their hospitality and willingness to help made our experience so much more comfortable and enjoyable. Truly appreciate the excellent service and warm welcome. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"
Hotel Antonia
"Very pleased with this property. Easy walking distance to local bus station, open air market, and the shop-lined pathways following the caldera. I was treated to a warm welcome with complimentary bag storage and coffee/tea upon arrival and departure. Room was recently renovated with specular results. Very nice interior finishes with a spacious bathroom. The superior room also included a generously sized glass-enclosed deck with partial ocean view. It was amazingly quiet given its central location. Highly recommended for travelers seeking an exceptional value in Santorini."
The Majestic Hotel
"Nice spacious rooms, good balcony sitting area with view to the ocean, good amenities and outstanding breakfast. Staff service was excellent and helpful."
El Greco Resort
"Excellent breakfast and dinner buffet! Nice rooms, with Netflix! Beautiful pools and lounging areas! Close walk to all the shops and restaurants!! Very helpful and friendly staff!"
Hill Suites
"You should never know there are two separate properties and we were separated from our group which made it a little difficult in communication and organization but overall itโs an amazing property and a wonderful location and I would recommend it but not for a group unless you can all be in the same building/area"
Athina Luxury Suites
"perfect choice for us"
Aria Suites
"Amazing property with fantastic views of the caldera and Barolo restaurant below. We stayed in the Norma Suite which has views of the caldera and pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would want to stay here again next time we visit Thera."
Central Fira
"The location is outstandingโฆa few blocks from the stunning views of the Caldera, a few blocks to the $2 dollar public buses to the airport and Oia, and a stoneโs throw from markets/pharmacies/laundry. The best bargain on the Island. The rooms are as advertised - modern/clean - and while itโs clearly aimed at the budget traveller, it gets 5 stars from me for hitting it out of the park on value! Also, lovely staff and great black out curtains for those arriving on overnight flights"
Thireas Hotel
"The hotel and staff were amazing. The views are spectacular and the pool was great to have. Highly recommend this hotel especially the room with the semi-private rooftop terrace. The crowds in Santorini are overwhelming and in this hotel you get that incredible view for yourself!"
