Where to Stay
Caveland Hostel, Karterados
What guests say
“Staying in actual carved-out caves is a surreal, wonderful experience. Pool is gorgeous, staff are brilliant, and it's far enough from Oia to avoid the worst crowds.”
“A genuinely unique hostel that delivers. The cave rooms stay perfectly cool. Great social atmosphere and a surprisingly good breakfast.”
Astra Suites, Imerovigli
What guests say
“The caldera views from our private terrace were the most beautiful we've ever seen. Better value than Oia with the same (arguably better) views.”
“Genuinely intimate — only 27 suites. Staff remember your name, your coffee order, everything. The breakfast setup on your terrace with those views is unforgettable.”
Canaves Oia Suites
What guests say
“The iconic Santorini experience done perfectly. Plunge pool on your terrace, infinity views, and they bring you champagne at sunset. Pure magic.”
“We got engaged here and there's no place more perfect for it. The staff made the moment extraordinary. Will return on our 10th anniversary.”
Mystique Hotel, Oia
What guests say
“Carved into the caldera cliff with a private wine cellar and a boat that takes you to the hot springs. Total seclusion meets total luxury.”
“The most exclusive feeling hotel on an island full of great options. Every suite is oriented perfectly toward the sunset. Staff anticipate everything.”
