Where to Stay in Santorini
Choosing where to stay in Santorini is the single most consequential decision of the entire trip — the caldera cliff towns on the western rim offer the extraordinary views that define the island's identity but demand a premium and significant physical effort, while the beach villages on the east coast offer ease, affordability and direct sea access without the visual drama; and between these two poles lies a range of village bases — Firostefani, Imerovigli, Pyrgos, Megalochori, Akrotiri — each with its own character, price point and way of experiencing one of the most visually extraordinary islands on earth.
