Kafieris View

We arrived to the hotel late at night and then next morning we were amazed by the view; it was breath-taking! This hotel is less luxurious that similar ones on the cliff, but it is excellent quality for the price and has an amazing location (we were even able to witness a wedding going on at a lower part of the cliff). We were also happy that the shuttle bus came to pick us up from and brought us back to the port. The only thing slightly annoying is that the person serving breakfast was not very friendly. But the person at the front desk made up for it.... ++

First of all, shout out to Pavlos for AMAZING service. I would email him from abroad and he would always answer all my questions very promptly. He set up my transfer services when I arrived at night time. His recommendations are very good. The facility is very cute and clean but a bit outdated. We stayed in the Double Room with a Caldera View. The little balcony view is stunning. Word of advice though- clean up all the dried plants outside the balcony because it ruins the view a little. The daily breakfast in bed was amazing, but I wish they would change it up a bit. The shower is very small. But the bathrooms are clean. The location is a good 15-20min walk into town... no less than that. The price is a little steep but overall everywhere is pricey if you want the Caldera View. I would definitely recommend it and come back. But... now that I’ve been to Santorini, I would see if there are other more updated rooms available closer to town with the view. But would not discard this place. In regards to activities, the sunset cruise is very nice but next time I’d book it with less people. And you do need to know how to swim- no life jackets are provided. The all day bus tour is very good, it covers a lot of places. It does not go to Santos Winery. You need to book that separately. But it did go to the wine museum. Enjoy!... ++

Would return & would recommend. Pros: incredibly nice & helpful staff great location, 15 min walk into Fira town along scenic costal path. Bus stop to Fira/oia 2 min walk from property Rooms cleaned very thoroughly Lovely breakfast each day which you can bring on a tray to balcony of your room/terrace overlooking caldera or garden/terrace out front Hotel can arrange pick up from ferry etc for 15 euros (we paid 25 euros to share taxi with total strangers on way back to ferry!) Fabulous views if you get balcony or from communal terrace Close to lots of eating options in firostefani (try aktaion around the corner) or gallinis for nice but overpriced drinks :) Cons Shower on the small side (I can live with this!) Wifi slow at times as in a lot of hotels we stayed in... ++
