Great hotel! Right on the lip of the caldera, amazing views, great staff, comfy rooms, great breakfast! I stayed for two nights with my mom and aunt (both over 70), and the steps were tall, but they managed just fine! James and Anna had great suggestions for restaurants, car rentals, sightseeing plans, etc. I will go back! More

I felt immediately at home at the Kavalari. The woman who greeted me was warm and inviting, and happily accommodated my early arrival (via sea transport from Crete). The room was three levels down, accessed by outdoor steps adorned with flowers and greenery. I was thankful that I'd decided on a large backpack rather than a suitcase, although there was... More

Very friendly and helpful staff, superb location with wonderful views over the Caldera - and of the sunsets - not to mention the comings and goings of cruise liners. The breakfast is out of this world, of which the local sparrows are very aware. Very convenient for good restaurants and shopping, the cable car, bus station and taxis. Some rooms... More

We loved staying at this hotel for our 3 nights in Santorini! It's quite easy to find from the bus station - head right uphill and then follow this road, through an intersection and as it curves round to the right, and then when you hit the main strip and can see the water, turn right and it is on...

Make sure you get a room over the caldera. It is the most spectacular, amazing, moving and entertaining view that you will ever experience. And its all there for you to enjoy: the sun, the sea and volcano are all there beckoning for your attention. Breakfast is prepared on the spot for you with fresh yoghurt, juices, fruits and pastries.... More

Hotel Kavalari is a combination of a perfect location and great value. Located conveniently near the attractions of Fira, within walking distance of charming tavernas, restaurants overlooking the caldera, the new museum of antiquities and the bus stop for inexpensive transportation to any part of the island. Our room, at the top-most level, was comfortable and the view from our... More

A cozy hotel with a spectacular view, be sure to stay here on your trip to Santorini! In August 2011, my parents and I took a ferry to the island from Athens. A bus stop was conveniently close to the hotel, and we were welcomed by the owner himself. James was so kind, making sure we were comfortable during our... More

In August 2011, my girlfriend and I spent 3 nights at this cozy, small and charming hotel. We were seen to by Yanna and James, both of them lovely persons, always helpful and with a great disposition to answer all of our questions. The views of the Caldera are simply breathtaking! You must definitely enjoy that enormous breakfast, looking at... More
