[2022] BEST AREA TO STAY IN

SANTORINI GUIDE

When it comes to where to stay in Santorini, it can really impact your experience on the island. There's no right or wrong answer and much of it comes down to your preference and travel style.

Just like deciding when is the best time to visit Santorini, trying to decide the best area to stay in Santorini is equally as important and challenging especially if it's your first time.

Fira

Just next door to Firostefani, this is slightly quieter than the often busy Fira but has equally great views.

Firostefani

Imerovigli

This is one of the quietest parts of the trail that connects Fira with Oia along the caldera that doesn't necessarily have many restaurants.

Oia

Inexplicably tied to Santorini for the iconic sunset, Oia is picturesque with more of an up-scale vibe to cater to all of the type of travellers that stay here.

With its maze of pedestrian footpaths, Venetian castle, local boutiques, and churches, this is a tranquil place to stay where you'll feel more like a local.
