Read our methodologyWhere to stay on Santorini?
Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Oia
Best for Classic sunset viewsPerched on the northern tip of Santorini, Oia is famous for its whitewashed houses, iconic blue domes, and steep cliff paths. It becomes exceptionally busy during late afternoon as visitors arrive to watch the sunset over the water.
Fira & Imerovigli
Best for Caldera vistas and diningThese central cliffside settlements offer some of the highest vantage points on the island, ideal for panoramic views of the volcano. Fira acts as the lively transport and shopping hub, while neighboring Imerovigli provides a quieter, more residential atmosphere.
Megalochori & the East Coast
Best for Beaches and wine tastingThis area combines the traditional, quiet inland village of Megalochori with the flatter eastern plains of the island. It is the best base for accessing Santorini's volcanic black-sand beaches, such as Kamari and Monolithos, away from the caldera crowds.
Areas to consider
Travellers seeking classic caldera views should avoid staying on the flat eastern coast, as destinations like Kamari and Monolithos face away from the volcanic basin.

Each bar shows how a hotel's nightly price moved over the period, leaving out the most unusual days. The marker is its typical price.
Every hotel counts once, at its own typical price, so hotels we happened to check more often don't carry more weight. Prices are the lowest rate available for the whole stay, worked out per night in euros.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
