Best Budget Hotels in Santorini

  • You will never stay in a bad hotel on Santorini. We can’t vouch for every hotel but old dirty hotels with a shower that doesn’t work are almost unheard of on Santorini.
  • The Santorini Hostel in Fira is a good place to stay to save money. It has a nice pool and is a 5 minute walk from central Fira and the bus station. It’s the only hostel in Santorini.
  • The best way to save money in Santorini is to book a hotel without a caldera view. Typically, adding a caldera view will increase the price by 50% to 100%.
  • The cheap hotels in Santorini listed below are not the absolute cheapest and prices in peak season are presented for you. This means in low season prices will be more economical. But the best mix of affordability, quality, and location.
  • To save money on food, buy your breakfast (yogurt, bread, and cheese) from a market, eat a gyro for lunch (Lucky’s in Fira and Pitogyros in Oia are the best), and go for dinner at a restaurant without a caldera view.
