Hotels on first line in Santorini

Janis, Aphrodite and Stephanous were so great and spoiled us at the beach. We were there for a wonderful wedding in Greece and between events it was so relaxing being at Hotel Sunshine. Looking forward to coming back

We LOVED that we were right on the beach, walking out of the hotel to lounge in the sun was exactly what we wanted in our trip. Very relaxing with tons of shops and food options near by.

Very welcoming staff, great location on Kamari beach front, breakfast is buffet style and eaten on the outdoor terrace by the beach, comfy beds, good WiFi, would definitely return

The location was amazing, the beach chairs were comfy, and the people there made our stay. Gianis, Stephanos, and Aphrodite made us feel like family. Excellent service from everyone ❤️. Great place to stay.

Absolutely loved our holiday here couldn't fault the experience. Front desk staff so knowledgeable and helpful, housekeeping amazing and breakfast looking over the sea perfect

Very well located, in front of the beach. It is not far from the airport. They helped us with any request. I would have liked the TV to have access to the internet or Netflix

Hotel Matina what can I say other than perfection Absolutely spectacular Excellent service The property is immaculate and staff so kind and helpful Rooms are well appointed everything you could ask for They even accommodated my request for a ground floor room as a solo traveller because I would have had difficulty doing stairs ! Perfect location 3 min walk to a supermarket bakery restaurants and beach...

Its only a B & B but hey only 5mins or less walk around the corner you will find the beach area and then be spoilt for choice as you wander along the front with it's never ending choice of restaurants, taverners, bars etc enjoy have a great time

Ideal location a few minutes away from the beach and endless food & drink options. Will definitely return if we come back to Santorini and recommend Hotel Matina to family & friends!

The rooms are provided with airco, fridge and balcony. The hotel is quiet and provides everything you need. The beach, shops and supermarket is at walking distance

Lovely hotel with lovely staff. Great location - very close to Kamari beach. Kamari beach is just a 5 min walk from Hotel Matina

I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet hotel close to the beach

Staff were very helpful in arranging a rental car for us. My only complaint was there did not seem to be any way to recycle but this was a problem at every hotel we stayed at in Greece

Each cave house seems to be a little different, but it seems that most of them have a private patio and a pool. The place is very peaceful and silent, perfect for a couple in Santorini

I stayed here for my honeymoon and I loved it so much. Pretty quiet, private and peaceful. The staff is so friendly and welcoming also helpful. The rooms are sooo clean and feels like a second home here

Great breakfast, the view was insane, and the location is a few steps right outside Oia of all the hustle and bustle so you don’t hear the music but you can be there if you want.

I ended up proposing to my girlfriend in this very spot, and I don't think there could be a better place. The staff, led by the dear Dimitri, was friendly and helpful

There was a jacuzzi in our room and it was fun to get in it. They had a kitchen with a mini stove so it made it easy to eat inside and make our own foods

We had to take a taxi to leave early in the morning, but they packed our breakfast so we could take it with us and booked a taxi for us! The swimming pool was really pretty and nice, so I went in every day during my stay

This is a really lovely, homely, clean hotel. Large rooms with great terraces, continental breakfast & a stunning pool area. Someone came to help us with our bags on arrival & departure

The bathroom was very small, but there was balcony. And, the pool and the view made up for the lack of space. The only issue I did have was that I noticed small ants in the room

Outside the garden and pool area were very clean and welcoming to swim and relax. Breakfast was so fresh and yummy and stuff members made sure no plate was left empty

The swimming pool is clean, the breakfast meals are delicious, the environment is beautiful, and the hotel service staff is super good

Very beautiful hotel, with a bus stop just outside, convenient enough to take a bus. Surrounded by a small commercial area, there are restaurants and supermarkets

The location , the bus stop right at the property the pool is georgus and the rooms are huge and very updated the reception guy is very professional and helpful the whole property is amazing

Nice little resort located near the Caldera. Friendly service. Nice pool and bar. Breakfast in the morning was a nice bonus.

this was very clean and the staff were helpful and very friendly! Rooms basic but spotless! Pool area was well maintained! Overall a very relaxing place and easy to commute to other parts of the Island worth a visit and the extra touch of keeping our room until we left free of charge was very much appreciated

Caldera View was an amazing place to stay! Highly recommend for adults only. The breakfast was the same fare every day of our stay but was excellent, delicious & filling. The staff was very friendly & accommodating

The pool area is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing swim. Our room was cozy and comfortable, just what we needed after a day of exploring

The location is also very convenient – there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it easy to get around the island. And just across the street, there’s a lovely restaurant with a stunning view of the sunset

I went there for summer with my friends,Rooms were adjusting to the styles in santorini,the service was amazing!Food was also really enjoyable with the view of the flowers and the clear pool,it was quite hard to find in but prices and everything was great

I recommend going there❤️ the best holiday I've ever had!

it's okay for short stay with private bathroom, kitchenette and balcony, Small but clean lodging having facility of swimming pool, few steps away from Perissa beach, several restaurants for different types of food, super market, beach pavilion and bus station are available at walking distance, recommended for tourists

We really enjoyed our three night stay at this quaint hotel ideally located near the beachfront in Perissa. We stayed in room 25 which is a clean ,nicely designed ,spacious family room

The pool is lovely and a great way to cool off any time of the day. with a bar to have a poolside coffee or refeshing drink

- air conditioning works great and has been a life saver - has a pool - amazing service from our host (regarding quad rental) Negatives - The rooms were quite small, however I’ve been told that was the Greek style

This was my 3rd stay at Hippocampus. Absolutely amazing and will not stay anywhere else in Kamari/Santorini. Hotel is beautiful, lovely comfortable rooms, clean, gorgeous pools and friendly welcoming staff

This is great hotel very close to all services and attractions but still well maintained, nice and relaxing. Staff is great. Goos swimming pool area. Perfect camp base to visit the island. We loved staying here.

The family that run it make this 6 star in my opinion. Such lovely people and even the cleaners would meet you with a smile and a "good morning" - it felt perfect. The pools and recent work ARE 5 star

We stayed here for two weeks in September 2025. The hotel is absolutely fantastic! Two beautiful pools with different vibes, but both very relaxing and quiet

Everything you need is nearby: beach, restaurants, stores, bus stop around the corner. We stayed here for 8 nights in September and absolutely enjoyed it!

Hotel was nice. Room was okay. Location good by the beach. Breakfast good. Overall 7 out of 10.

We had a lovely holiday here, clean room friendly staff, good pool, nice breakfasts and short walk to a great town with loads of tavernas and bars. Beach great, rocky but beautiful. Prepare to haggle down subbeds

Took our two young kids and it was all stress free and lovely

Nice place. The owner had given us all the facilities that we've needen.

I would recommend it to everyone. Very nice stay

The Not-So-Good: Unfortunately, there were several areas that needed improvement. The pools were okay – the water appeared green and murky, and the surrounding tiles looked neglected and in need of a deep clean

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The place is very clean and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful especially the reception lady .Yes , we will go back again.Thank you

Had a very nice stay in the hotel, its located in Kamari, 3-5 min walk to the beach where you have many places to choose to stay and eat, the bus station is also close, nice and clean rooms, nice and help-full personnel

The breakfast is very good and healthy, they serv homemade gem and cake. The garden is marvelous (haven’t seen anything like this on the entire island), new pool and nice roof garden

Some rooms were very, very small, but overall, they were all very nice, with the basic necessities. It has a lovely pool, and the breakfast is basic but perfect for a 3-star hotel. It's 200 meters from Kamari Beach

Nice location , close to restaurants and beach but not on a main road to have noise of most of the cars

The bus stop is close to the hotel and costs 2 euros pp each way. All in all we had the best time and I can't wait to go back and would definitely stay at Hotel Andrea's again. Thank you for an amazing stay xx

We had a wonderful vacation at Andreas. It was not only about the clean room and the good breakfast, but also the warm atmosphere and, of course, the beautiful yard, where having breakfast felt truly special

Villa Valvis is a charming, family-run hotel located just a short walk from the beautiful Perissa Beach in Santorini, Greece

The location is close to the sea, 3-5 mins of walking, private parking, peacefull. Anyway all the best, I recommend 😇

The hotel staff, particularly Mihalis ♥️🇬🇷, is often praised for being attentive, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests have a memorable experience

Known for its warm hospitality, Villa Valvis offers a welcoming, comfortable stay with a focus on guest satisfaction

The rooms are well-maintained and clean, providing a relaxing retreat after a day exploring the island. Each room is thoughtfully designed with simple, cozy decor that complements the laid-back atmosphere of Santorini

Very enjoyable and two minutes away from a very nice beach

There is a pool with some lounges that was very popular for the couple of days I stayed particularly as it was too windy to be at the beach. I recommend this hotel and would stay again

The staff is extremely nice, the room was beautiful, the pool really appreciated. The breakfast was very good, with a lot of choice. It’s located two minutes from the beach which is a real plus

Quaint hotel, amazing staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Very good food and location excellent if you’re wanting beach. Close to lots of restaurants and shops

The hotel is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The pool is a very nice area with plenty of sun loungers. Really enjoyed our stay and all the staff were so kind and friendly

I was visiting Greece for the first time and I am really pleased of the service in this hotel in Kamary,Santorini. People here are amazing and incredibly kind every time we asked for something

Birthday cake for both myself and my husband on our birthdays and also helped our friends who surprised by coming to stay for for a few days. Would definitely return thank you so much😘

Peaceful small hotel close to popular kamari beach. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Nearby there is a road going to airport approach lights. Suitable for plane spotting for Aviation entusiasts. Nice swimming pool

Owners are super friendly and attentive to your needs. Beach is about 15 minute walk and the bus is about 7 minute walk. Bus can take you to Fira and Eau. No food or drinks available at the hotel after breakfast

Rooms were comfortable with private outdoor space. Beach area had shopping and dining

The fresh water pool is a delight, with sun all day and spectacular views of the sea and mountains. The location is perfect, set back for peace and quiet and only a five minute walk to where it's all happening

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Elena in Santorini. The hotel was very clean, cozy, and overall just perfect for a relaxing holiday. It is simply and thoughtfully designed, with everything you need to feel at home

In easy walking distance of town and beach, in a perfectly quite location. Above all, run by the most amazing team of Sophia and Yannis

Lovely location, lovely staff, good beer Relaxing pool Clean Hotel, grounds well Maintained

The swimming pool is just perfect with a bar and great quite location for the Hotel. Easy access to bus to Oia and Fira

They have us an actual key to the room that would turn on the lights and keep ac flowing. And then a master key for the front door after 11. The staff was so welcoming felt like they welcomed me into their home

Pool and outside area were stunning, and with that the cocktail and snack bar were amazing. For the price of drinks you get more than what u order. Really all in together amazing and beautiful experience

On top of that, the prices are lower than most places on the island, which makes this hotel even more special. The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and close to everything you need

Plenty of sun loungers - we always got one. The area by the pool was very nice. Snack bar and bar available - food from 1pm to 6pm like club sandwiches (9€) etc. Away from hustle and bustle yet bus stop around the corner

The service was impeccable: transfers, restaurants, beach clubs—everything arranged perfectly, with care and precision. The suite was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and full of thoughtful touches

What distinguished this property is that the service went truly above and beyond: breakfast was fresh and delivered right to our room, and everything we needed like rides or afternoon coffee was addressed immediately

This was our sixth stay at The Tsitouras Collection, and once again, everything was flawless. We spent two nights in the beautiful House of Portraits, a refined two-bedroom suite full of art, history, and character

We stayed for 5 nights with 2 sets of friends and we wanted for nothing. Eleni, Mongi, Robert and the entire team anticipated everything we needed yet we felt we were the only people here

It also feels really special that it's run by a family. Eleni and George and all of the people made us feel at home and the location is fantastic too. It's close to town but removed enough to not feel touristy

And of course to the entire staff—kind, professional, and always one step ahead. The Tsitouras Collection is not just a hotel—it’s a place of elegance, soul, and warmth. We couldn’t recommend it more highly

All staff were lovely but there was one bartender by the pool called George and he was extremely friendly and helpful and went above and beyond for me and my boyfriend!

The service staff has a great attitude! When the weather is good, breakfast can be enjoyed in the outdoor garden. The meal is delicious, coupled with the unbeatable sea view, it is a very good experience!

The hotel is built along the mountain wall, very special! View is great! But it is quite hard to go in and out by climbing up (out) and down (back), and it will be very difficult for people with bad knees or weak legs

The view from here is stunning and has the perfect sunset. I am surely going to book this stay again if i visit Santorini. The receptionists are really helpful. They can book activities, transfers and much more! Just ask

The breakfast options here were vast and all as good as each other. Waking up to a huge amazing breakfast every morning on your terrace looking out at the caldera is something I will miss for the rest of my life

Stayed here last week and my whole experience was honestly amazing, staff, food, amenities, views, location- such a relaxing hotel and would recommend to anyone if you are in Santorini you have to stay here

My wife and I booked a last minute trip to paradise resort through love holidays Akrotiri is a lovely quiet area of Santorini but the island is easily accessible by car or quad Hotel staff are a family and are very friendly and welcome As the hotel only has a few rooms, the pool area was always quiet and we would have it to ourselves most days for a few hours, and even then, the most we saw was maybe...

More sunbeds are needed to stop the towel hogging due to lack of beds. Continental breakfast was sufficient for us as we ate out each evening. We never drink in the room but ours lent itself with its lovely views

You could have your breakfast indoor or outdoors in a warm & inviting atmosphere. Also our room was on the second floor, with a balcony. Watching over the beautiful bougainvilleas & a view of the wonderful pool

That we didn't go to the beach, this time round. Our room had an suite & air conditioning. Which you need in Greece, in the Summer. It was simple room , but nice & comfortable

We found Paradise Resort such a pretty, relaxing and welcoming little hotel. The pool area was comfy and relaxing with padded sofas /chairs and a shaded garden area

We had stumbled upon this gem whilst taking a walk from our accommodation This place oozed a welcoming aura and the food was so tasty, we decided to go back again, and again We were met by the most beautiful family who were welcoming and attentive and were willing to adapt the food to our taste

The hotel had recently been refurbished and everything about it was first class. Flora was lovely and incredibly helpful. Really peaceful atmosphere - laying by the pool on the new luxury sunbeds was the perfect treat

Just returned from Kalimera hotel Akrotiri. Flora was so helpful and very informative. Helen served us each day with a huge smile. The pool guy and maid's keep everything pristine

Also ate once in the hotel which was lovely and very reasonable. Perfect location to walk to the archaeological site and the boat trip to the white, black and red beaches

Cristoff worked hard to maintain the pool area and was pleasant Enjoyed the stay overall

Reception also organised a quad bike hire on our final day. Bus stop outside the hotel makes it easy to get around. Remember to take extension lead for extra sockets and kettle if you like a cuppa in your room

Our room 22 had the biggest bed we've ever seen and cleaned daily ( I did take kettle for early morning cuppa ) Village with a handful Tavernas is 2 min walk, we ate at Portobello 4/5 nights, was delicious

Location is perfect everything you need is on your doorstep. The beach is straight in front of the hotel, and comfy sunbeds in the beach. The pool was immaculate and the sunbeds were plenty

The hotel is well located and has its own bar/ restaurant/ pool and sun loungers on the beach- turn left or right and there are lots of bars and restaurants either way

Pool area spotlessly clean but small. Bar excellent, The main plus was the sun loungers on the beach , Wouldn’t not return but would definitely not go for a basement room

Just got back from a brilliant week at the perissa bay hotel. Alex was so helpful he couldn't do enough for us. The hotel was very clean, the room was cleaned daily and fresh towels every day

We don’t have enough positive words in dictionary to honor this great place. They treat you with respect and courtesy. You get amazing food and drinks for good price, especially their beer

We met some great people and the whole place had such a friendly feel. Breakfast was fine nothing fancy but enough for us, if you want more choice you can get that along the strip

Great beach for snorkeling tons of sea life crystal clear water and the beach is solid bedrock at the water line and turns to black pebbles on the beach itself

This is a great place to stay close to the beach. We landed in Greece late night and we had to call the front desk since they are not there 24 hours. Make sure you communicate with them what time are you are arriving.

Amazing stay in Kamari! The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. Great location near the beach, delicious breakfast, and super friendly staff. Truly a perfect experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Buffet breakfast service was very nice. The beachfront loungers and umbrella are great. The Prince Restruant and the bar and lounge area top others.

Great location. Rooms a nice. Breakfast is very good. Onsite rental car Agency and tours. The staff all are helpful and friendly. The front bar (Prince) and lounge area and service on the beach is great.

My husband and I spent two nights at Makriz Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing

If you could fix those then it would be perfect. Room was basic but cleaned with fresh towels daily. Walk in shower and powerful aircon. Nice pool, a bit chilly in October but ok for a dip

I chose a sea-view room in Oia, but I was very disappointed. The door faced the sea, but there were telephone poles nearby

Firstly, the safe in our room was not secured to anything so a thief could have walked off with our passports quite easily. Also the pool was making loud gurgling noises every day which became really annoying

A very nice hotel, excellent breakfast/restaurant with a superb view. The pool is fantastic! The staff is very attentive. You need a car on Santorini, but otherwise you'll be a 20-minute walk from Oia.

The best hotel I ever stayed!! The room is so cute and iconic of Santorini! We enjoyed the clean and quiet swimming pool. We also enjoyed the sunset in front of our room

Excellent service, great location, and a great swimming pool!
