Santa Elena

We stayed for one week in September 2024. First time to Santorini and so glad we stayed at this “little gem” in Kamari. Yannis welcomed us on arrival and we were allocated a room on the 2nd floor. Room was small, but very clean with great shower and great air con. Lovely balcony overlooking the beautiful swimming pool and sea view to the right. Sophia welcomed us at breakfast and provided us with information regarding the Hotel, local area and excursions. She was so helpful throughout our stay - nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely and something to suit everyone. Kamari centre was a 5/10 minute walk away (turn right out of the Hotel and walk to the bottom of the road where you will see a Church, turn right again and take second road on left, which leads you to the beachfront, restaurants and bars). Kamari is beautiful! To use the bus service, follow the same directions, but just before you take the second road on the left, the bus stop is on the right hand side. This bus is 2 euros and takes you to Fira, which is beautiful, although I recommend going in the evening, as it is very busy with Cruise Ships during the day. To get to Oia, take the bus to Fira and then change. If you are there at night, you can watch the sunset. We had a brilliant holiday in Santorini, such a beautiful place and our stay in Santa Elena was perfect. Thank you Sophia for being a wonderful host!

Stayed her with both mums in their own rooms, both aren’t that agile now, so the only downfall is if you aren’t mobile then taxi to get back is very easy. Now all the good stuff, Rooms are small but lovely and the water was always hot, rooms were kept really clean by the maid every day. The views of the pool and sea are great, breakfast was always good and Sophia and her brother could not have been more helpful, even showing us the choices of rooms on arrival and helping us with baggage. Requesting a taxi not a problem and you are near to the open air cinema and winery’s. We have stayed at this resort 3 times previously and loved it, although this accommodation was my favourite, I would return without elderly parents in tow. The swimming pool is super clean and quiet 🤫 maybe best not to tell everyone how amazing this property is.

My husband and I booked this for 1 night in June prior to catching a ferry to Naxos, its was so good we cancelled our fira hotel on return journey and re booked this for 3 nights. Just outside kamari centre its clean and comfortable with excellent hosts
