This place was amazing. It’s not caldera side, but was my favorite place we’ve stayed in while traveling in Greece.
At a minimum, it’s a clean and quiet hotel only 10 minutes walk to the city center, with easy access to all the restaurants and shops we were interested in.
But in more detail, Callia had everything you could hope for, and was much more affordable than many similar hotels in Santorini.
The pool was my favorite part, nothing like lounging in a bed poolside for a few hours before heading out to explore the island. They have a bar where you can order mixed drinks, beer or wine, and even a small kitchen. Breakfast in the morning was always different and the coffee was great.
The views from our room were incredible, and the small porch attached was a nice place to relax as well.
Callia’s staff even arranged our pickup service from the airport, which minimized the stress of finding a taxi. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re coming through Fira!
