Learn more about Santorini

Clinging to the rim of an ancient volcano, whitewashed villages cascade down dramatic cliffs towards the impossibly blue Aegean. Wander the narrow cobblestone lanes of Oia, where every turn reveals another perfect view framed by blue-domed churches. The black sand beaches of Kamari and Perissa offer swimming spots unlike any other, with volcanic mountains rising behind sunbathers. Take a boat tour across the caldera to the smouldering islet where the volcano still steams and bubbles. Wine lovers shouldn't miss Santo Wines, where tastings come with sunset views that explain why artists have been drawn here for centuries. For history buffs, the remarkably preserved Bronze Age settlement at Akrotiri reveals a sophisticated civilisation frozen in time by the ancient eruption.

During your visit, you can explore a range of attractions including mystical sunsets, volcanic islands, ancient churches, historic cathedrals, and traditional wineries, all offering exceptional value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Santorini, begin by checking the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, which could help you secure savings.

This way, you'll be promptly informed if rooms become available or if prices drop, making your last-minute getaway easier to arrange.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more cost-effective stay in a Santorini hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
