Fira Backpackers Place, hotel in Fira

Featuring a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden as well as a shared lounge, Fira Backpackers Place is located in the centre of Fira, 600 metres from Archaeological Museum of Thera.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel, largely thanks to the exceptional hospitality provided by the Hostel Manager, Matthew. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel incredibly welcome. His local tips around the area were spot-on, and he was always quick to help with any requests. Matthew's work ethic truly stood out—he went above and beyond to ensure that all guests had a wonderful stay, especially during the colder winter months, even arranging an extra blanket for me. The common room was a great place to relax and unwind, and if you’re lucky, you might even get to enjoy the company of the hostel's playful and affectionate cats. The kitchen was another highlight for me—it's small but well-equipped, making it very convenient for preparing meals. The room itself was clean, well-kept, and provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic—super close to the bus stop, and Fira is centrally located, making it easy to access all of Santorini’s transport options. Overall, I loved my stay and would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Santorini. Great atmosphere, great people, and an unbeatable location!

Caveland, hotel in Karterados

Situated in Karterados, 1.6 km from Archaeological Museum of Thera, Caveland features accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

I stayed at Caveland with family (my two kids and my mother). The room was much more spacious than I could have anticipated. I was expecting a much more smaller room, with several beds fit within the available space (based on past experience). Instead, what we got a essentially a small apartment, with two separate bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a small living room, all spacious, well equipped (e.g. air condition, wireless, towels etc) and clean. The balcony outside the room was nice for relaxing and also observe the kids in distance, playing in the swimming pool. The kids enjoyed the large swimming pool, it was ideal for the warmest part of the day when we did not want to move around in the island under the Sun. Breakfast was basic but more than sufficient. Everyone was very helpful and kind. The dogs were also a nice company. The village has few nice places to eat, or you can also order to get food delivered at Caveland. Overall, I hope that the fact that Caveland is listed as hostel in some booking websites is discouraging from some families to even consider it as an option - I instead cannot recommend it more.

    Kindness of the owners and functionality of the room, wonderful bathroom, very good and abundant breakfast at cheap price (11€ and we ate in 2), good shuttle service even if expensive (but taxis are even more so better the shuttle service)

    This place was amazing! Nice breakfasts at morning, they cleaned my room every day, and they were super nice!:) Great location in Karterados, you can just walk to Fira easily, bus station is close (which is super cheap). I was visiting Santorini alone, and they made my vacation super safe and comfortable! Thumbs up Ikaros!❤️

    Almost everything including the location. There are bakery, plenty of eateries, supermarket just right outside. Nicer n cheaper restaurant than in Fira/ Oia, the rstaurants is really good here. Basic room w balcony, clothes hanger, kettle fridge, I will go bk again if I come bk to santorini. 15mins flat ground walk to city center. There is a bus stop, all buses will stop here from Fira, except the other direction to Oia. Great location.

    Good location only 10 min walk into Fira. A pool which was great to cool off in . Room was OK. Bathroom cramped , but good Size balcony and good size room with fridge, air con and safe. Look it is a cheaper budget hotel, so don't build high expectations . But value for money good .
