Situated conveniently in the centre of Fira, Bedspot Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. The property is around 2.9 km from Exo Gialos Beach, 9.3 km from Santorini Port and 11 km from Ancient Thera. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The whole place was extremely clean and well-maintained. It was located really centrally and near to the Fira bus station so it was easy to get around. This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in and absolutely worth the higher price compared to other hostels in the area. The friendly and accommodating staff made the stay even better. Before I arrived, they sent me a bunch of instructions on how to get to the property and asked if I preferred the bottom or top bunk. During my stay, I told them about the pillow being too firm, and they immediately exchanged it for a softer pillow. I really enjoyed my stay here and I will be coming back!

Set in Oia, 1.2 km from Katharos Beach, Hostel 16 Oia offers air-conditioned accommodation and a bar. The property is around 14 km from Archaeological Museum of Thera, 23 km from Santorini Port and 23 km from Ancient Thera. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests. Nice design of rooms, almost felt like a tiny separate enclosed room than a bunk bed (it's just a lot more spacious than I've seen in other hostels). Dana the staff member was super friendly and helpful. Obviously location is superb being right in heart of Oia.

Situated in Karterados, 2.5 km from Archaeological Museum of Thera, Caveland features accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 7.8 km from Santorini Port, 11 km from Archaeological Site of Akrotiri and 12 km from Ancient Thera. The air-conditioned rooms provide a garden view and come with a desk and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room is fitted with a patio. The rooms have a kettle and a private bathroom with a shower, while selected rooms also boast a kitchen. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. 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.

Featuring a garden, terrace and views of sea, Votsalon Beach House is located in Katastárion, 50 metres from Alykes Beach. Located around 16 km from Agios Dionysios Church, the hostel with free WiFi is also 16 km away from Port of Zakynthos. Certain rooms at the property have a balcony with a mountain view. I adored my stay at Votsalon so much! Marietta was an extremely helpful and a very lovely host. the room got everything I needed to relax, and I enjoyed working in the lovely terrace. I was not so lucky with the weather and it was extreme at times, but the accomodation proved to stand it all, and the 1 minute walk to the beach covered all the possible inconveniences. Would love to come and stay in the room once again!
