Excellent hotel with an amazing sea view. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful with local tips and suggestions. The location is within walking distance of Fira and Imerovigli and within a 20 min bus or taxi ride to Oia in one direction or Kamari in the other (by Taxi, not bus). They were always happy to help with booking transportation, restaurant reservations, etc. Their transportation partner, Thira Travel was pricey (in line with island standards) but they were very friendly, helpful, punctual and had very clean and modern vehicles. The pool and bar area at the hotel is gorgeous and the bartender was always happy to mix up some tasty cocktails and help us with some basic Greek language skills. The Belle Etoile really helped make our first trip to Greece a memorable one and we will certainly be back should we have another holiday on the island. Thanks again!
