While most people stay in Oia or Fira, we 100% made the right choice to stay in the quieter Imerovigli and at the Heliotopos Hotel! The hotel is perfectly located and a short walk to the “center” of town where there are some of the best (both from quality of food, views and cost) restaurants on the island. The other huge thing was how private the balcony actually was. A lot of the hotels in the caldera, there are numerous other rooms and hotels packed together so nothing is really “private” even if you have a private pool, oftentimes there are people who are just walking by your room or looking down on your from their balconies. This room had a very private terrace with an incredible view of the water. The staff goes above and beyond to help you get where you need to (we were very concerned about the limited taxis and crowdedness of the buses) and to help you find and get access to the best spots on the island. We stayed for 5 days for our honeymoon and you can’t beat the views of sunset from both our balcony and the wine bar at the top of the hotel. Look no further for your trip to Santorini for a stay in a caldera hotel!
