WOW. What a great place!!
Location
The Roddakas is a small hotel on the outskirts of Akrotiri. It is literally right outside the bus station. I didn’t even need to leave the parking area out front to get on the bus. I’m so glad I didn’t stay in Thira or Oia. I really got a very nice, laid back, Santorini experience here. It was close to tons of attractions (ancient Akrotiri, Red/White/Black beaches/ Lighthouse, etc) and was a short ride away from anything else.
Amenities/Nice Touches/Atmosphere
I believe this was family owned and operated. The lobby was an adorable mix of Santorini guides, and child’s toys for their young daughter, who greeted everyone with enthusiasm! She’s ready to take on the family business :) there was an excellent pool and poolside bar to take a relaxing siesta before heading out to a Greek (late) dinner. The whole family was ready to answer any questions we had, from where is the best place to see the sunrise, to how do I rent an ATV as an American (if you’re not an EU citizen, look this up before coming!)
I can’t begin to explain how friendly and helpful everyone was. I will recommend the Roddakas to anyone and everyone. My stay in Santorini wouldn’t have been complete without this hotel.
