Frequently Asked Questions
Santorini is one of the most popular destinations in Greece, so to be sure of finding the right hotel, aim to book four to six months ahead for spring and autumn trips, and up to nine to twelve months in advance for the peak summer months of July and August.
Oia and Imerovigli on the caldera rim offer the most coveted sunset views, whether from your suite, terrace or poolside.
Private plunge pools and some infinity pools are often heated, particularly in spring and autumn. It's always worth checking at the time of booking if this matters to you.
Yes. Most luxury hotels offer private transfers and porterage — particularly useful given that many of the village centres are car-free.
Coastal and village hotels — in Kamari, Perivolos or Megalochori, for instance — offer flatter terrain; ask about a lift or ground-floor room when enquiring.
May to June and September to October: warm water, fewer crowds and better rates.
Many clifftop properties are adults-focused with age restrictions in place; families often find beach and villa resorts with more level ground a more comfortable fit.
