The best place to stay in Santorini is on the Caldera, and the best value ( we did our research!) was at the Kavalari Hotel. Frankly for the rates they charged, we did not expect much so we are pleasantly surprised that not only the rooms, views, cleanliness, staff and daily full breakfast was amazing! What we found so unique... more

I went here with my boyfriend and was in awe from the moment I saw the view from the Kavalari to the caldera. Amazing. When we checked in there were 2 rooms available at the same price. Room 14 was a very small room with a tiny bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the caldera, the the private balcony sits... more

Blown away by the view from our terrace!! Complimentary bottle of wine! Staff was so helpful and gave great advice. Perfect location! more

Can't say enough about this place, excellent service and food, with breakfast on the terrace overlooking the most wonderful views. Clean, comfortable rooms. Convenient location. So pleased we picked the best place to stay in Fira. more

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
