Santorini : BEST HOTELS with CALDERA VIEW in 2024 (Part 1)

[@RahulAgrawal-x8c]

I just returned from our family tour from Greece and I very rarely leave the reviews on you tube but this time I had to do. I just can’t thank you enough for making these incredibly helpful videos about Santorini and Athens. I almost watched all of them and it made me so well prepared for my trip for everything including accommodations, food, travel. Your videos are to the point, no sales pitch, very concise and short. You’re the man. I just can’t think how would my vacation have been without your videos. I wish we could see these kind of videos for every destination. I would highly recommend to all my friends who are planning to visit Greece. Thank you so much on behalf of our family !

[@GreeceExplained]

Your words mean A LOT to me. Making all these videos on my own takes time and effort, and comments like yours are what keeps me going !

[@Mr23sisco]

Another notable mention to check out is Calderas Memories in Imerovigli! 400-600 euros in high season

[@kerrygrant9340]

Hi .. thank you for Your hard work helping us all. Any advice on Cresato luxury suites?i’m Planning on staying there on my upcoming trip .

[@jeffhechanova2318]

Thanks for the informative video. Which place will you recommend if we don't drive and just take the bus?

[@GreeceExplained]

Then I'd stay in Fira or Firostefani.

[@daniellecatalano3499]

These videos are amazing! Thank you so much! We are planning a trip to Santorini in the middle of September and are torn between Absolute Bliss or Agnadema Apartments. Any recommendations if one is better than the other? We aren't looking to rent a car and rely on public transport :) (which your bus video is awesome!)

[@GreeceExplained]

Both are great, but personally i would go for Absolute Bliss.

[@walay-fitness8464]

Hi, what do you think about Omna caldera suites, we’re going in september and have booked the junior suite with private pool and private hot tub with caldera view? 🙏🏾

[@TamaraTee]

Hi, I noticed you didn't mention Dana Villas in Fira. Can you share your opinion?

[@peshehodetz08]

What about Andronis Concept Wellness Resort, how is the view from there. And what is the weather end of April ?

[@loudini56]

What is your opinion of the Katikies Chromata hotel in Imerovigli?

[@hong5787]

Hi Sebastian, I hope this message finds you well. My partner and I will be visiting Santorini for 5 days during mid-November this year. We're planning to stay at a budget hotel for the first 3 days and 2 nights, and then move to a better hotel with a caldera view for the remaining days. I was wondering if you could advise us on whether it's possible to leave our luggage at the budget hotel for a few hours after our check-out time, or at the better hotel before the check-in time. If both options are possible, which one would you recommend? We are considering hotels in Fira or one in Fira and one in Oia. Thank you in advance for your advice!

[@GreeceExplained]

Yes I believe all hotels agree to store customers' luggage even outside of checkin hours, so do whatever suits your schedule best ! FYI, since you're coming mid November, when hotel prices have reached rock bottom, maybe you could stay ALL your nights in a Caldera View hotel !

[@anideepbasu]

Love from India!!! I am currently booking for end of June. Fixing up on william's house based on this video, thanks a lot for making this.❤ just one question regarding the honeymoon suite , any idea if it will get a complete sunset view along with the caldera view? Please help us out here.

[@GreeceExplained]

Yes you will ! :-)

[@anideepbasu]

@@GreeceExplained thanks a lot.

[@johnathanwhite1907]

Is Dana Villa in Firostefani(Santirini) a good property? Mainly the honeymoon pool villa. Would this be a good hotel in the area?

[@GreeceExplained]

Yes it is

[@conradcaples4926]

Your thoughts on the enigma suites?

[@GreeceExplained]

Great view but VERY touristy and crowded couple of alleys.

[@cherryblossom8613]

These all seems to be adults only hotels.. any caves houses that are family friendly?

[@GreeceExplained]

There must be, but I dont have any names for you.

[@mals9999]

Very informative. I have stayed in some amazing places in Fira with private hot tubs / but they were during covid and were 50-70% cheaper. Probably wouldn’t stay there going forward due to very high prices and crowds post restrictions. I love staying in Firostefani as great views, a little cheaper, quieter and easy and beautiful walking distances to Fira and Imerovigli. Stayed at the Sunset Hotel last May, highly recommended if on the lower end budget. Amazing views and wasn’t crowded at all. Not many people used the hot tub either. Staying at the newly renovated cave suite at Agnadema end of May. Can’t wait. Special special island. Great vid as always Seb. Happy New Year

[@grantw7]

I'm really looking forward to the hot tub. Glad to hear it is not crowded.

[@tripsandvibes]

I’m going there this season! Any hacks or recommendations??? Plz let me know guys!

[@omarghanem5179]

I just came back from Santorini and we loved our stay at Alti Suites. We had the sugarmoon suite and loved every minute of our stay. The location was perfect, as the views were stunning, the port was literally below us, and we were on the local side of the island which was much quieter. The service us was top notch as the staff was super friendly and helpful. Thanks for the amazing content brother it surely helped us in our trip.

[@grantw7]

I am currently booking 7 months out from a planned trip in October. Even this early, not many of the good ones (price/top reviews) available. In order to get 5 nights at the Sunset Hotel I had to reshuffle my itinerary. Remvi Suites was another place I was looking at, but I could not get more than one or 2 days together (unless I wanted to pay for the most expensive rooms). Book early! Thanks for all your videos. They really helped my planning.

[@Michael-u2n4g]

You have great content. I'm looking for my honeymoon spot.

[@vinivini5747]

Is Santorini paradise sunset Apartment good?

[@mmira72]

Your channel is super informative, thank you! I am glad I found it before planing my trip. I suggest you add another video to this series for hotels in the beach area (east side).

[@chrisoverbey5937]

Another super video Sebastian. Well-presented with super information

[@seanwilliamrussell]

We stayed in the hot tub suite at damigos caldera world and found the view stunning

[@sunandabandyopadhyay7132]

I was waiting for this for so long !! Thanks a lot Waiting for Oia hotel too crossing castle next part from where we can see sunset as well

[@Iprismaster09]

I have been looking at most of these hotels for time range in dec 6-11 and they all show “sold out” does that mean they are closed?

[@GreeceExplained]

It means its off season. You should watch this vid : kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5m5gnWFf7GYr80

[@Sensaiq8]

Thank you I really appreciate this video, since I’m planning my honeymoon with my wife and this is amazing information

[@zoreoleaix]

C’est é préparant mes prochaines vacances en Grèce que je suis tombée sur vos vidéos que je trouve très intéressantes et très utiles ! Merci pour votre travail; je m’abonne à votre chaîne du coup 🙂!

[@davidseddon2690]

I've watched about a dozen of your videos now and subscribed. These are the most precise and informative videos I've seen about Santorini. Excellent, thank you. I'm thinking of visiting with my wife this October. It's be great to have a hotel with a caldera view and pool (even though they mostly seem to be rather cold), but neither of us fancy hundreds of steps or being far from a bus stop. We'd go for the cheaper to medium priced places not the luxury ones. I don't mind too much where on the caldera as long as we wouldn't need to hire a car to get around from there. Thank you in advance. (It may be a great future video - caldera view hotels with less steps).

[@maryf.8840]

Hi Sebastian, You mention where the sunset views are in July and August in this video. Where would you recommend the sunset views in the beginning of March. I know this is not an ideal time to visit the island but we have a conference in Athens at this time and would still like to see Santorini. Thanks!

[@btsjingal]

Hello. Just found out your video and it’s September now and planning for our trip in April 2024. Almost all the affordable hotel are sold out. Except for Abelonas Retreat. And we quickly booked it. Whew I didn’t go they sold out so fast. I will be looking at your Athens videos. Hopefully you have Mykonos videos too. Thank you so much. Very informative and concise and useful 👏🏼

[@jonhewitt3]

Big hands, lol

[@ringrose9419]

We stayed at Nefeles Luxury Suites (Fira) at about €500 a night in the summer of 2023 and it gave us splendid caldera sunset views with private jacuzzi on the balcony. It is located pretty high on the cliff and we hardly walked more than 10 steps down from the road to reach the upper levels of the hotel. Definitely recommend.

[@shallyjannif1575]

Thank you for the information. However, could you please provide recommendation for family friendly luxury accommodation with caldera view in Oia.

[@santokos]

When I visited Santorini, I stayed at Epic View Suites in Akrotiri village and it was Amazing !

[@TheHijabi]

Sebi what do you think about Andronis Concept? You are making me double think my choice 😁 I’m traveling with kids

[@GreeceExplained]

Its a nice place, just next to White Pearl Cavalieri. I prefer the "authentic vibe" of White Pearl Cavalieri, but Andronis Concept has a similarly amazing view, so all good :-)

[@TheHijabi]

@@GreeceExplained thank you for reply. I checked each luxury hotel you recommended and none had availability with kids, I think that family rooms are a challenge in Santorini 😅.

[@tavv3485]

Thank you for your wonderful videos, quite helpful for 1st timer to Greece in August.. Any recommendations for beach front hotel with great beaches to swim or relax? Mid range pricing please... Much appreciated..

[@GreeceExplained]

I mention a few in this video (in the towns of Perissa and Kamari) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKvZe3etfqd1rLc

[@maryph100]

I love your channel I’m coming in Hune and your videos have helped me so much

[@themosarah]

Hello Sebastian, I wanted to express my gratitude for your fantastic channel; it's an incredibly informative resource. I was wondering if you could provide some recommendations for hotels in the mid-range category that have limited steps or stairs. One of the members in our group who will be visiting Santorini in September faces some challenges when it comes to climbing stairs. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@GreeceExplained]

Mid Range hotels with easy access (no steps) : - San Antonio : prf.hn/l/BOYvpvD - Above Blue Suites : prf.hn/l/xnW8E1D - Alti Suites : prf.hn/l/vyW9wG5 - Azanti Suites : prf.hn/l/q5dg3JB - Caldera View Private Villa : prf.hn/l/MDVObNB - Ambeli Sunset Villas : prf.hn/l/lGboEev - Acroterra Rosa : prf.hn/l/ZYklZO8

[@fabrizioardilesdecker9972]

Thanks mate. You saved my life 🙂

[@leeann1655]

Great video! Do you have an opinion about Vora Villas?

[@NYCKarina]

What are you're talking about man? You mention 10 hotels there's literally at least 50 hotels with perfect sunset views in Fira alone

[@GreeceExplained]

The purpose of this video is not to mention every single hotel, but to help people decide by narrowing down the list to 25 of them.

[@nikosvithoulkas9602]

congratulations. very good work...!!!

[@angelvonne]

You should include absolute bliss. Stayed there and it was amazing!

[@spacebug30]

We booked Sunset hotel in Firostefani! Thank you so much for your recommendations.

[@amitpatel-xn7xm]

Do u recommend sunset hotel?

[@spacebug30]

@@amitpatel-xn7xm I haven't been yet, going early october, but the reviews online are very good. It's definitely one of the few cheaper caldera view hotel and it books up pretty fast.

[@peterjamessmith9265]

Thank you! Is the Oia hotel video coming or is it already on your page somewhere?

[@GreeceExplained]

Coming on Wednesday, in 4 days ;-)

[@dante02cr75]

I booked in April at the Sunny Villas hotel in Imerovigli. I was hoping to find it in this video, I hope not to be disappointed!

[@amitpatel-xn7xm]

How was it?

[@josetshim]

How come you did not mention Cavo Tagoo and Grace hotel both in imerovigli?

[@GreeceExplained]

They re great hotels, but extremely expensive. Thats why they didnt make the cut. But for those who have that kind of budget, yes they re awesome places !

[@scooterbelle7825]

Very helpful video, TY! I'll be going in May 2024 - will the direction of the sunset be more north or west of where you indicated it would be in your video during "high season"?

[@GreeceExplained]

In May the sun sets more like North West. Hope this answers your question.

[@scooterbelle7825]

​@GreeceExplained Appreciate your response, TYVM! I'm trying to decide if Volcano View Hotel in Fira or Hotel Esperas in Oia would have a better sunset view in May? From your video, Esperas in Oia may not have views of the caldera/volcano, but depending on the angle of the sun, Volcano View Hotel might be best. I'm still not sure.

[@GreeceExplained]

@@scooterbelle7825 They both have sunset view. Volcano View is more about the Caldera while Esperas is about all the cute little houses of Oia built one of top of the others.

[@firstname1lastname241]

great explanation

[@grahamcolquhoun2295]

Thank you very informative

[@luvfilmsmaking]

What about the Lillium Hotel in Fira? Any opinion (s) regarding Lillium?

[@GreeceExplained]

Great view but not the best value for money

[@luvfilmsmaking]

@@GreeceExplained Can you elaborate further or perhaps add it to your list of hotels. I will love to hear your opinion. Also, do you offer tour guide services for a private group?

[@GreeceExplained]

Sure ! You can email me at [e-mail] !

[@obaratta]

Hello! Thank you for your video- I just booked Caldera Cliff Illusion, and the hotel confirmed they do not have sunset view? I’m a bit confused now :(

[@GreeceExplained]

Hey ! Which room did you book ? You will definitely have the Caldera View, but maybe you're facing South West instead of West / North-West, meaning the sun sets just outside of your viewing range.

[@obaratta]

Thanks for your quick reply :) I booked the Cliff Suite, Caldera View, Private Hot Tub (for 2)

[@GreeceExplained]

@@obaratta Just went to check the pictures. Yes I confirm that this room is facing South / South-West, so the sun will set just outside what you can see. In my opinion its still an amazing place, the caldera view you have is unreal. I'm jealous ! :D

[@obaratta]

Thank you so much!! Outside of what’s in this video, is there a hotel you suggest that has both (caldera and sunset + outdoor tub) in Fira. It’s our honeymoon so we didn’t mind spending in the mid price range 🥰

[@GreeceExplained]

@@obarattaSure ! Those 2 : booking.tp.st/2jXMa5Xt booking.tp.st/Ikq2FC3F

[@camrickmayes5920]

Hi. My wife and are staying in armeni villas in oia April of this year. Any thoughts on that property and the area in general?

[@GreeceExplained]

Nice place, but I believe there are hotels in Oia with a better view : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpuyY6tmmN-Fh8k

[@camrickmayes5920]

Okay thank you. I have watched many of your videos, I did not see any information on the Armeni Villas. Is there anything that you know of the property as to its pros and cons? I still have opportunity to change to different property if I decide to do so. I would appreciate you expertise on this.

[@GreeceExplained]

@@camrickmayes5920 I've never visited their facilities so I'm not sure I'm the right person to answer this question. All I know is that they dont have sunset view nor can you see the blue domes, which is a shame.

[@bruceleroy4358]

Great video!

[@sunandabandyopadhyay7132]
