| Santorini Web : Hotel Information |
| Santorini Web has attempted to simplify as much
as possible the process of choosing a holiday home. Santorini
offers all types of accommodation : hotels, villas, apartments,
cave houses, studios and rooms.
The cardinal rule is deciding what kind of holiday you wish
to have & then combine that with your budget. |
 |
| When looking at our map remember
that the west coast of the island is CALDERA SIDE. That
means you are right above the volcano - the cliff side
which has a massive drop into the sea.
So any area on this side and located on the cliff is
called caldera. It could be caldera in Oia (Ia), caldera
in Firostefani, Imerovigli, Akrotiri, Megalochori at
certain points or in the main town of Fira. Caldera
accommodation (volcano view) is structured in tiers
(levels) and many are smallish units due to building
difficulties, building permissions and the islands'
desire to preserve its original look and charm.
Most offer swimming pools. The lower properties can
only be reached by a considerable amount of steps. Properties
on Caldera side are usually more expensive due to the
spectacular view offered. |

SANTORINI ISLAND MAP
|
|
|
| In contrast with the highest
region of the island (CALDERA - west coast) the EAST coast
slopes gradually into the sea
Main villages that cover this area are Perissa, Perivolos,
parts of Megalochori, Kamari, Karterados, Monolithos,
Vourvoulos, Baxedes, Pori, Agios Artemios and Vlichada
(south east). Vlichada has a small marina used to moor
private yachts and boats.
Akrotiri on the south west coast of the island is a
combination of Caldera (Volcano views) and large stretches
of beach.
|
|
There are many traditional inland villages
which offer views either to the Caldera side or the
Beach side.
Pyrgos is situated on one of the highest points of
Santorini island and has amazing views of all the whole
island. Messaria and Vothonas are traditional villages
situated below Pyrgos.
Megalochori village and Emporio lie relatively close
to the beach areas of Perissa and Perivolos. |
