Simple House Santorini
Wonderful trip!! Exactly what we were told it would be!! Host was quick to return messages!! The place was clean and comfortable!! We had a wonderful stay!!

Calderimi, a cosy,warm and renovated house in Fira
We stayed 5 nights in Aris"s place in Fira and it was perfect for all our requirements. It is close to the old town for shopping, Restaurants and the sunset views. It is also very close to the main bus station with regular buses to the port, airport and beaches. The house is traditional which makes it cool inside but with modern touches, definitely the best shower of our trip! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Beach towels were also a great extra touch and much appreciated. There was always someone available if you needed anything. It was also private with a lovely garden to relax in the evenings without noise from the town. We would definitely recommend booking and we were pleasantly surprised by Santorini also.

AROMA CAVAS Suite with caldera view
I can’t say enough about Nikos. He is by far the best host we ever had. From day one he was full of info about where to go, what to do and of course the nice restaurants. The place is very nice and clean. The pool is definitely a plus but the weather was a bit cold for swimming. Lastly the airport is a 10-minute ride away. Nikos please is a must if you are visiting Santorini. Thanks for everything and the going away present🙏

Old Vourvoulos Houses - Elegant Loft for 2-4!
Super clean, beautiful place, good location between both city centers.

The Garden View Home
As described. Parking is easy to park. The center of Fira is within walking distance. The location is right next to a spot perfect for sunset. Restaurants nearby.

Amantes Amentes - Beach House Santorini
Perfect hosts, a peaceful house on a small street two minutes from the black sand beach and clear water. The pretty terrace to rest after a day visiting the island is undoubtedly a big plus. You'll find restaurants on the beach road. I recommend a car. No worries, the house has ample parking that can easily accommodate two cars if needed. Kostas recommended a rental company that we didn't use and we really regret it. It was more expensive but a lot of scap car side on the island. Kostas also arranged our transfers to and from the port. His parents came to greet us when we arrived at the house and were also there when we left. Lovely people. I would recommend this place without a second thought and hope you stay here one day, you won't regret it! I've used several Airb&b and this is definitely one of the best.

Villa Helena Santorini- Private Plunge Pool & BBQ
Very quiet area, You must rent a four track or a car. Close to restaurants, shopping, and beaches

Moonstone Cozy House w/ 2 Bedrooms 1km From Center
The host is incredibly helpful, caring and efficient, he will just make your stay as comfortable as possible. The house is clean, charming and there are plenty of items available, as you will read in the description. The location is pretty connected. Just don't hesitate and reserve!
Other great vacation rentals in Santorini

D' amigos Superior Cave House with outdoor hottub
This was the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. It’s centrally located in the island, has a beautiful view, it’s clean, and it’s a beautiful property. We never drove more than 30 minutes anywhere. What really made this the best Airbnb was the hospitality and customer service. Kostas and his staff were so kind, thoughtful and considerate to our family. They were so sweet and accommodating to my baby. They served us a delicious Greek breakfast every day. I was looking forward to it every morning. Our house had everything we needed and they provided so many personal touches, it was so thoughtful. While Santorini is beautiful, and we had a great time, staying here made it a vacation to remember. I can’t recommend them enough and I hope to stay with them again in the future.

106. Hideaway Villa with Heated Pool and Sea View
Extremely satisfied! Went beyond with a stocked fridge and special homemade treats and specialty items in the bathrooms. Definitely need a car so don’t hesitate to rent as travelling on roads no problem (even if busy). Area not easily walkable and is a bit removed - if you want a busy/nightlife/touristy area this is not the place - very quiet (in a good way). Can’t say enough about Konstantina who was readily available to assist with recommendations and bookings. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending and returning.

BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE VILLA WITH STUNNISH CALDERA VIEW
Beautiful view of the caldera and the sunset. We were very comfortable with 5 people staying, I'm sure 6 would be very easy as well. The roof is a fantastic place to enjoy evenings. There is a 3min walk down a cobblestone path which may be difficult with very large luggage, but it wasn't an issue for us. We didn't do any cooking, as the area had restaurants conveniently nearby. Groceries aren't great walking distance, but enough to get by. The property is on the hike to Oia, so there are a good number of folks walking past during the day. But we noticed that most did not pay any attention to us and we weren't particularly bothered. If you want total isolation though, this isn't for you.

Olia Drop, one bedroom, jacuzzi, amazing view
What an absolutely stunning stay! This location is about a 25 minute walk from downtown Fira and right along the main path to Oia, which made it a great landing spot for everything we wanted to do in our weekend in Santorini (and quieter/more peaceful than staying in a busier area would have been). Great communication from the host including arranging transportation to and from airport, daily cleaning service, local recommendations and tips, and postcard views (+sunrise and sunset!) from the patio every day. We had the best time.

Big place for group 12 - Including Cars Rental !!
Oleksandr was an excellent host and took the time to meet with us upon arrival to review the map, recommended sight seeing locations, restaurants, etc and answered all of our questions. As we arrived on a Holiday, he helped us with available grocery stores and restaurants open during the Easter holiday weekend and helped with arranging visit to the wineries. Tremendous value for families and/or groups of friends.

Cliff Reflections - Superior Suite - Caldera View
Markos's place is a very good choice for a stay in Santorini for a couple of days. We loved the comfortable bed, the panorama window, the quiet surroundings, everything.

Villa Ersa @home by the sea
Beatrice welcomed us right at the house after she had already organized our rental car. Throughout the stay, she was extremely nice and helpful with other good tips. The accommodation is new, very tastefully decorated, well equipped, absolutely quiet, although only 5 minutes by car from the airport and wonderfully located about 100 m from the beach. The travel time (last week of October) was perfect, as pleasant temperatures, only a few tourists, but most local and cultural events still available. In short: highly recommended!

EMERALD:3BD Sunset/Sea View Villa w/ Pool & HotTub
This place is just perfect for busy Santorini. Marco was very quick and communicative prior to our arrival and helping with our transport. The view is absolutely stunning and on site staffs are the best! They made our stay so memorable and helped with all of our activities. I would highly recommend staying here as I will definitely be back!
Your guide to Santorini
All About Santorini
Santorini is an 11-mile-long island in the Aegean Sea, southeast of mainland Greece, and is the largest among a group of small, volcanic islands called the Cyclades. Officially known as Thira (Thera, in ancient Greek), Santorini has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. Its 20 or so villages exist atop one of the largest calderas — volcanic craters — in the world; the eruptions throughout its history helped create the dramatic black-sand beaches across its coastline.
Evidence of Santorini’s prehistoric past is on display at the underground Akrotiri archaeological site, where you can see the intricacies of the ancient civilizations who developed multi-floored buildings and drainage systems. The ruins seen today are the result of a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BCE that covered the village in lava and preserved elaborate wall paintings, dwellings, and pottery.
Santorini’s culture is also embodied in its food and drink. Wineries stretch across the countryside, where you can try the island’s native Assyrtiko white wine. Aromas from traditionally prepared coffee fill the cobble-stone streets, brewed with Greece’s specialty briki pot and enjoyed as a social activity. Local dishes prepared with Santorini’s local white eggplant and chlorotyri goat’s-milk cheese make for a dining experience you may not find anywhere else in the world, thanks to the island’s rich volcanic soil and distinct farming.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Santorini
You will find accommodations, including Santorini villas and rural retreats, across the island. During Santorini’s comfortable, warm spring months you can make the 6-mile hike from Fira to the village of Oia and ruins of its 15th-century castle while passing blooming wildflowers like lupins and corn poppies along the way. Mild weather in the fall brings the height of the grape harvest, making it an ideal season for trying one of the nearly 20 wineries scattered across the island.
Take advantage of the hot summer months by visiting some of Santorini’s swim-friendly beaches like Perissa or Kamari Beach. The island also hosts the Santorini Jazz Festival in July and the Ifestia (volcano) Festival in August, featuring fireworks and live music shows. During the colder months, you can take a wintertime dip in the thermal hot springs on Santorini’s smaller, uninhabited island, Palea Kameni.
Top things to do in Santorini
Ancient Thera
Some of Greece’s ancient history is on display atop the mountain of Mesa Vouno, accessible by a 4.5-mile hike or a drive to the ancient city of Thera, named for the volcano that famously erupted near it thousands of years ago. Ancient Thera sits at more than 1,000 feet above sea level; once you reach the peak, you will have panoramic views of the Aegean Sea while you stand among ancient ruins, founded in the 9th century B.C.E. and inhabited until 726 A.D.
Vlychada Beach
You can experience one of Santorini’s famous black-sand beaches at Vlychada. This swim-friendly beach on the southern coast is surrounded by towering cliffs. The best time to visit Vlychada Beach is later in the day for a beachside picnic and sunset.
Megalochori
Megalochori is a village on the southwestern coast of Santorini whose white-washed walls and bell towers tower over cobblestone streets as a former defense against pirates. The village is surrounded by Santorini’s wine country, making it a great place to try some of the island’s most-loved wines like the sweet, amber-colored Vinsanto and the crisp white Assyrtiko. Megalochori also hosts classical Greek music concerts throughout the year.
