The 5 best Lodges in Fira, Greece

May 15, 2023 Agatha Simes

The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

The Last Sunbeam

Breathtaking view from the room

Reviewed By Ketlina G

The view was breathtaking, and the staff very friendly and helpful! Room was very clean. We arrived a bit earlier and as the room was ready the receptionist gave us the room a bit earlier which we appreciated a lot after a long trip. They recommend us nice restaurants to eat around. And even tho the hotel was fully booked there was plenty of space for all of us to have privacy and enjoy the view by the pool. Breakfast was served according to our preferences and honestly everything was amazing! Lovely place I would definitely recommend!! Also not overpriced , even tho santorini is a bit expensive! We can’t wait to be back!!!

DONT FORGET YOUR PAYMENT CARD!!!!!

Reviewed By Garcenanddordz

Arrived late as our flight was delayed and all we wanted to do was get into our room and relax. BUT NO, they wouldn't let us in because we forgot the card id paid for the room on. MIND YOU WE HAD ALREADY PAID!!!!! They didn't care at all about leaving us with no room, or money for the rest of our holiday, 'it was their protocol' even though i showed them the card on my phone app and offered to give them any other cards. 'as it was for security reasons' SO SO RUDE!. So they made us pay AGAIN!!!!!! All i can say is it ruined our holiday!

Hotel Porto Castello

Lovely, friendly, comfortable, clean, well located - and amazing value-for-money

Reviewed By Philippe H

Arriving at Santorini was an awful experience. Oia and Fira are invaded by hordes of tourists. The whole area (except for the amazing archeological museum) reeks of bad taste and mass tourism so much that the beauty of the caldeira cannot be thoroughly enjoyed. We were therefore extremely lucky to find this little pearl: away from the hordes of tourists, but close to the nice beach and to a lovely little port. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the (salt water) swimming pool is large, with a sunny and a shaded part at every hour, the surroundings are very pretty (a Cycladic church, a nice village, beautiful trees, ...) and the hotel itself is surprisingly very clean and comfortable. Rooms are large enough with a decent balcony. We are accustomed to pricier accomodation, but this just felt like a simple friendly place, not a cheap one. If you're not looking for luxury, but for comfort, a swimming pool and the sea close by, but mostly if you're looking for a nice family place and not a tourist trap, then I would heartily recommend Hotel Porto Castello to you.
