What budget hotels in Santorini have caldera views?
These are cheap hotels by Santorini standards but might still be out of some people’s budget. If you have to have a hotel with a caldera view these are the cheapest options. Most of these places have good sunset views (except the ones in Oia – which don’t look towards the sunset).
- Kavalari Hotel (Fira)
- Caldera Butterfly Villas (near Fira)
- Theoxenia Hotel (Fira)
- Scirocco Apartments (Fira)
- Delfini Villas (Oia)
- Aspa Villas (Oia)
- Kallisti Villa (Oia)
- Zenith Blue (Imerovigli)
- Gizis Hotel (Imerovigli)
- Sunset Hotel (Firostefani)
- Hotel Mylos (Firostefani)
- Villa Ilias (Firostefani)
- Blue Dolphins Apartments (Firostefani)
- Villa Maria Damigou (Firostefani)
HI Dave,
Thanks for such an abundance of helpful info! We’re heading to Greece first week of May for 10 days in Mykonos and Santorini. What’s your take on Spiliotica on the Cliff? We’ve been searching quite a bit for a romantic stay with views but close walking distance to multiple things to do.

Spiliotica is great with incredible views. There are several good restaurants and 2 markets nearby but for anything else you’ll be walking to Fira (about 20 minutes).
Hi Dave!
Thank you for all of your super helpful information. My wife and I booked our flight for Greece during the last week of May and are so excited!
We are trying to decide on a hotel and two places that we keep going back to are VIP Suites and Residence Suites in Oia. Any feedback or notes you have to share about those places?
Thanks again for all the information!

Both are nice with great views. Some of the VIP suites have caldera views and others have sunset views (but you see less of the caldera). All of Residence Suites have true caldera views but won’t see the sun set into the sea.
Does the Merovigliosso in Imerovigli have caldera views? It sort of looks like it from the website. Also, how big is the pool?
It’s across a small road/parking lot from the caldera cliff. From the Luxury Apartment (which has a 2nd floor balcony) there are views but for the most part I would not call this a view hotel. Though you’re steps from the cliffside and wonderful views. The pool is small but still great for a dip. There are some pools on Santorini that aren’t much more than a large jacuzzi but that’s not the case here. Yes, it’s small but it’s an actual pool. It is on the cooler side, however, since it’s not heated and doesn’t get a lot of direct sun. That’s fine from late June to early September but I doubt you’d be using it anytime from October to May.
