Ten Best Budget Hotels on Santorini
Greece Travel Secrets picks the ten best budget hotels on Santorini, some with caldera views, some near beaches and some close to the heart of Fira.
Santorini is famous for its breathtaking sunsets, whitewashed buildings, and stunning caldera views. While it’s often associated with luxury resorts, there are plenty of budget-friendly hotels that offer comfort, charm, and excellent service. Below is a list of the 10 best budget hotels on Santorini, each with a brief description, address, and website for easy booking.
From personal experience, we always recommend booking direct with hotels for the best prices, and to make it easier if you need to change or cancel. Some hotel booking websites lead you to believe that they have the best prices, but this isn’t always the case so always check direct with the hotel. If their prices seem to be higher then ask if they’ll price-match. Hotels pay a hefty booking fee to these websites, so if they price-match they get all of the money for themselves with no booking fee to pay.
And remember, Santorini is very expensive, so what qualifies as budget here is still going to be on the high side.
