A recent study showed that in the past two years, Santorini has been one of the most popular destinations for travellers. With its gorgeous sunsets, breathtaking views, and perfect weather, it’s easy to see why. However, while many travellers flock to the pricey hotels in Fira, there are cheaper alternatives that offer just as much – if not more – in terms of beauty and experience.
In Fira, there are many hotels that charge upwards of €300 per night. But for those looking to save a bit of money, there are plenty of other options. Just a few streets away from the main strip in Fira, there are plenty of smaller hotels and Airbnb’s that charge half, or even a third, of the price.
And, it’s not just the price that sets these smaller hotels apart. They often offer better views, as they tend to be perched on the cliffs above the town, and come with all of the amenities that you would expect from a hotel, such as breakfast and Wi-Fi.
So, if you’re looking to visit Santorini, don’t be afraid to venture away from the main strip in Fira – you might be surprised at how much you can save.
