Most Popular and Best Luxury Hotels in Santorini
In so many locations (Paris, London, Rome) you spend a majority of your day out and about. But in Santorini, with those incredible views, it’s common for people to spend a good chunk of their holiday lounging on their deck, jaw dropped, staring out into the caldera.
Price of Best Luxury Hotels 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 hotels listed below start with the more expensive ones, most of which have caldera view and swimming pools. These are followed by the cheaper ones, some of which have pools and caldera view, and then the hotels on the beach, mostly in Perissa and Kamari, which most of them have pools but no caldera view, because there is no caldera to view. But if you are a family you may be a lot happier being able to walk to the beach, rather than take a bus, taxi, or walk down 5 million steps and then back up again.
