Not the best time of the year to be in Santorini with the weather a bit chilli for travellers from the Sub-Continent, but the location and Ambience of Hotel Kavalari, definitely made up for the 20+ degree weather. There is no room service which is good because it forces you outside your hotel to go get a bite and the... more

Breathtaking views from terraces on every level. We stayed in room #11 and had a beautiful view. Complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge. Yummy breakfast every morning on the terrace of fresh croissants & rolls, greek yogart with honey, fresh cut up fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee and tea. The service at the hotel was top-notch. Very polite... more

The absolute best location for a sunset view. We did the view from Oia and from a boat in the caldera but the best spot was w/ a complementary glass of wine from our balcony. Try to get a room just one level down to perfect your view (and save steps). In addition the staff was very friendly and helpful... more

We just spent 5 wonderful nights at the Hotel Kavalari. The breathtaking views from the hotel are among the best on the whole island. You can watch the sunset over the volcano and Thirissia from your balcony or just about anywhere in the hotel. The hotel rooms are charming, amazingly clean, nicely appointed and cozy...many are carved out of the... more

We've stayed at Kavalari at least five times since our first visit in 1998. We were first attracted by the incredible views, pleasant terraces and location in the center of Fira, and those are still Kavalari's biggest assets. I've always considered the steep, meandering stairways and odd-shaped rooms part of the property's charm, as a converted former captain's house and... more

We just returned from the Greek Islands and we stayed 5 nights at the Kavalari. You can't beat the view -it's an excellent location and there are many terraces to view the caldera. I would recommend going out to breakfast though and not getting the breakfast there - the first day we had bread, coffee (not offered tea), orange juice... more

We stayed at the Kavalari for 3 nights during our stay in Santorini. I looked at many, many other hotels in Fira as options, but am so glad we chose the Kavalari. From the great location (right in the center of town) to the amazing view (direct view to the caldera) it was the perfect spot to be on the... more

Wonderful staff, fabulous view, great location....a highlight of our trip more

Our party of four just returned from Greece, and our stay in Santorini at the Kavalari was the highlight. The hotel is nice and the staff very friendly, but it was the view that mattered most. We stayed in a larger room (4 adults) with kitchenette, and noticed a little musty smell as others have reported. But since it was... more
