Winter hotels in Santorini


For those who live in Santorini during the winter months, January and February may be the most “quiet” months of the year. However, Santorini still offers a lot to the visitor; first of all, a lot of sunshine: All the photos you see at professional photo albums have been taken during winter to take advantage of the much desired smooth and gentle light. In general, the weather conditions are nice with north winds, mild temperatures and a few rains.

The museums and archaeological sites remain open and the public transportation operates normally. The airplanes and boats run smoothly and connect Santorini with Athens and other islands. There are at least 2 boats and 3 airplanes per day to Athens.

To accommodate the visitors, many hotels are open all year round in Santorini and are spread all around the island. Family hotels, boutique and luxury hotels, studios and apartments offer good rates and nice views to the Caldera.

To name a few, in Fira (the capital of Santorini) you can find Nefeles Suites and Hotel Loucas on the cliffs of the caldera. Both hotels offer fantastic views to the sea and the famous sunset. In addition, here you can stay Pelican Hotel and Costa Marina Villas which do not face the Volcano, but are located in the centre of the city, so you are close to all the hot-spots! Indeed, these are two warm family-run hotels with friendly staff.

In Firostefani (1.5 Km away from Fira), you can find Ira Hotel and Dana Villas; you might not be able to swim in their pools, but you will definitely enjoy the panoramic views and the quiet and private environment! Dana Villas has a wide range of accommodation from studios to V.I.P. suites. Ira Hotel features room and suites with Caldera view and cave rooms without view but at very competitive prices.
