Great hotel and host, close to bus stop for easy transportation.

The hotelbis literally a bus stop so taking the bus everywhere was cheap and easy. Walkable to the site of Akrotiri. Staff was AMAZING. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend.

We were one of the first guests of the season and everything was just perfect. The owner was so nice and friendly and knowledgeable. The Akrotiri area is the perfect area if you want some peace and quiet. Would heartily recommend this hotel. When I return to Santorini, this is where I will stay.

Santorini hotel

Great 3 night stay in Santorini at the Hotel Kalimera. Property is beautiful, lovely landscaping, well maintained. Pool is large and inviting on a 95 degree day. Seating areas and lounges around the pool are nice and comfortable. On site parking. Great location on the southern end of the island. Breakfast was perfect with Greek yogurt and honey, meats and cheeses, breads, eggs,etc. ownership definitely takes pride in the property. Room was a decent size, nice outside seating area to enjoy the view of the Caldera and sunset.

Lovely friendly place to stay. Helpful staff who gave a great insight to the island

Great!

Very friendly and helpful staff. The facilities were clean and maintained. The breakfast was plentiful and the coffee strong. The location is convenient to go anywhere on the island and a big bonus was being located next to a grocery store.

Stunning

Everything was absolutely fantastic, clean, great AC, amazing views, great and quiet location

Lovely little hotel.

The hotel was lovely! The staff were really helpful and very welcoming. The pool and pool bar was amazing!! Room was very clean. The whole stay was really relaxing and would definitely return.

Lovely hotel with extremely helpful and welcoming staff and owner. Could not have asked for better on this visit to Santorini. Beautiful views and charmingly appointed.

It was close to everything. Right in the town of Akrotiri- near bus stop, food options, shops, beach, caldera view. Perfect location! The staff were also very friendly and it was always clean. Loved the pool and the pool side restaurant. Would highly recommend.

Hotel owners were OK. Breakfast was not many choices. Room cleaning woman was rude. Will not come back.

Great hotel

I enjoyed my stay here. It is away from the busy places but I enjoyed the quietness. Most importantly the service was amazing. They made my stay worthwhile. Im so happy I stayed in the hotel. Breakfast was great, the view from my room was breathtaking, the room was good for one person

Great Hospitality

The hospitality was outstanding at Kalimera . My daughter got very sick while we were there. The property manager helped us to find an on call doctor. Offered us some medicine. Then drove us to a pharmacy to get what was needed. We felt completely at home, and appreciated the genuine concern. She spent time to let us know about the island, and made useful suggestions. The rooms were very cozy. The sea is visible from the room. Everything was clean and in working order. We enjoyed the breakfast. The lighthouse is nearby, as well as the Ancient Akrotiri Archeological site which is worth a visit. If you're looking for a place where you'll feel right at home, this is it

Helpful friendly staff. The hotel has a bus stop for public transport and a village nearby with restaurants. The hotel is tastefully decorated and is peaceful

A gem of a hotel!💜

We arrived at this lovely hotel late in the evening and received a very warm welcome from Flora, who not only gave us plenty of information, but also gave us the choice of rooms available making us feel very cared for. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Clean sheets and towels, room service every day and lovely peaceful surroundings. The pool and bar area were great and we enjoyed many a quiet drink relaxing in between dips in the water. Flora made sure we were happy and always had a smile 😃. We enjoyed breakfast and had a meal or two in the hotel, which were lovely. Nice home cooked food. We enjoyed walking to the local beach and also took the boat to red, white and black beaches....a great day out. Akrotiri was a lovely little place to visit. We would definitely recommend Kalimera - so glad we found you! And would love to return one day! Thank you

Nice Hotel on the quiet side of town. Got there a little after midnight and the host was still very informative and welcoming.

the pool was the best aspect, breakfast like canteen food.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent play to stay .... very friendly family run atmosphere .... bus station 10 meters away! Wonderful visit

Excellent

A quiet location with friendly staff and a charming atmosphere. Loved it!

Caldera views in a little village

Had a room with Caldera view from the rooms attached balcony. Nice pool overlooking the ocean the other waay. Caldera beach amd a nice restaurant on the water a hike down the cliffface. Infrequent bus to red beach and fira. covered ruin site Antakiri and red bech aboutt 30-40 min if you walk, coin toss on whether you would save time over bus. Unless you want to wait alot on buses rent something with a motor.

Away from the crowds

Room and bathroom was good with balcony view of Caldera. Bus stop, mini mart, restaurants all close. Good buffet. Great pool. Very well kept hotel. Only downside was in room safe on hotels.com site was wrong.

Would stay there again!

It was a very clean hotel, and nicely decorated. The bed was a bit too firm for me and the room small by Canadian standards but we weren't there to spend too much time in the room as we were visiting the Meteroa monasteries- a must see if you are going to Greece! Great town, nice people!

The hotel is very nice, clean and family operated

The Staff is friendly and willing to help with any questions you may have. They rooms were nice along with the pool area. This is a family owned and operated Hotel and it was by far one of the nicest experiences I have had. The rooms were a nice lay out and big my family had two different rooms and both were exceptional. I would definitely recommend staying here and will be back if I ever go back to Greece.

Nice hotel, away from crowd

Best place for someone who like jomp out from daily city crowd, noice, people...very clean and nice designed rooms. Great lobby service, very helpfull, we got even some food and drink arriving at midnight. Thank you Kelimera!!! Highli recomended!!!

Fantastic place and great service

Great location away from the busyness of santorini and a beautiful little hotel.

Wonderful Stay at Hotel Kalimera

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we checked in right to our check-out 4 days later. The team was friendly and accommodating to our Family needs, the property was extremely well-maintained, the food was fresh, tasty, and plentiful, and the location was within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, small grocery marts, and scenic vantage points. Not to mention, a bus stop right outside the entrance. Despite the proximity to all of these, it was quiet and peaceful - everything we wanted! We would absolutely recommend Hotel Kalimera for Families and/or Mature Couples.

Loevely Holiday / Excellent Break

Excellent time and very well looked after by the owners and staff. we couldn't fault this hotel at all.

Pleasant stay with friendly staff

Staff 100% lovely to all guests! The hotel is nice and has lot of character and history of the town Akrontiri. Bus stop right outside te hotel making it easy to travel the island. Shop and restaurants within a 2 minute walk. Right on caldera beach with beautiful reviews! Only slight criticism was hard to get wifi and beds a little uncomfy but overall a pleasant stay! Perfect for families rather than young adults

Kalimera, nice hotel with room for improvement...

Hotel is located in decent place overlooking the caldera. Nice spot. Crew was helpful and responsive. Breakfast was minimal with some room for improvement. Room was too small with small shower place

Hotel Kalimera - good value for Santorini

The Hotel Kalimera was great as a base for exploring Santorini --please note that we did have a rental car. The hotel itself is very cute and a great value for the money. The owners/employees are very helpful and personable. The room we had was a bit small for 2 people and their breakfast could be a bit more exciting. A wonderful beach is just across the street with quite a few restaurants within walking distance.

Good location

This hotel is located in a serene area. Walking distance to the water and Akrotiri museum. Bus stop is just steps away from the hotel making it so Getting to Fira and Oia just for a few Euros. Breakfast were buffett- style and decent although, staff could be bit more cheerful. Overall, our family time in Santorini were very much pleasant.

Satisfied in Santorini

Had a most beautiful view of the sea. Private balcony. Clean, clean clean. Nice breakfast.

Comfortable accommodation

Need to provide tea and coffee and kettle for tourists who are used to drinking a lot of tea

Traditional Family run Hotel

Very nice family run hotel with excellent staff. Spotlessly clean in beautiful quiet location. Very nice choice of food. A short walk to several excellent taverna's offering a good selection of traditional Greek food, if you wanted a change. There is a bus stop outside and a first class air conditioned bus service.every 30 mins.

Convenient location

My wife and I were impressed with the reasonable rates we got with this hotel for where it's located. it's on the inside of the caldera, allowing you to see the volcano and other islands around Santorini from the upper floor balconies. They had ample room to park vehicles.

Lovely hotel

The fanh that run it are so lovely. Pool area is lovely rooms are about what you'd expect from 3 stars and so to the menu. But loved the owners. Very friendly.

Great Stay

We had a great time at Hotel Kalimera. It is located in Akrotiri which is a smaller city on the southern part of the island. There is a bus stop right across from the hotel and it is a few Euro to get to Fira. You can hike down to the Red Beach from the location, and finding an affordable restaurant in Akrotiri at night is quite easy.

Friendly, small, family hotel.

We were made to feel very welcome and our every request was met with a very helpul response. The family run hotel provides a homely rather than luxury experience which we found to be very restful and exactly what we were seeking. Food and drink well presented and good quality,. Swimming pool and grounds well maintained and pleasant space in which to relax. Our bedroom was small but had everything we needed and was kept spotlessly clean. Congratulations to the family for providing us with a very restful and pleasurable experience. We would definitely go back.

Lovely family run hotel

Excellent location in a quieter part of the island, with a bus stop right outside for easy access into Fira. Views of the caldera from our balcony. Easy to request a transfer to/from the airport. Walking distance to several Tavernas.

Great Family-run Hotel

Such a nice place and such a nice family! Flora, George, and all the rest really do go out their way to make sure everything is going smoothly at this beautiful property in a quieter part of the island. Loved staying there!

good hotel if you have a car or transportation

very nice hotel located in a quiet spot away from hustle and bustle of city . There is a bus stop near the hotel but seeing the island might be easier with a vehicle .otherwise good hotel and transportation from port and back.

Relaxing, friendly and helpful - thoroughly recomm

We stayed at the Kalimera Hotel for two weeks. Away from the main tourist areas, (but easily and economically reached by bus) it was charming, relaxing, friendly and quiet. Giorgos, Flora and family were fantastic hosts and even when the islands power plant had problems, they quickly bought in generators keeping the hotel operating, guests happy and fed :) We cannot recommend it more highly and will definitely stay again

Nice hotel close to beaches

We stayed for 3 days, a couple with a baby. Very nice staff, ok food. Nothing luxurious but clean. Baby bed available

Great Price with breakfast included

We stayed at this hotel and enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was included which was great and fresh and very filling. Hotel staff were very polite and nice people. This hotel is slightly away from the Oia and Fira town but the good part is there is bus stop just outside this hotel which makes it convenient. If I visit Santorini, I will stay back again here.

Great location and service, Good pick for price

The room was clean and we had a great view of the street with a balcony, but the room smelled smoky like someone previously had smoked in the room. That was the only disappointment. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable and clean including the bathroom. The bathroom shower was a little odd because it was elevated off the ground and prone to water going onto the floor. Other than that it is central to the area and great to walk around the small area of Delphi. A good choice for travelers going in and out of the city, plenty of shops and place to eat in walking distance.

Decent, but wouldn't return.

Decent budget hotel with ok location. However, the place lacks character -- something seems not right -- and the beds are one step up only from an air mattress in terms of comfort. The breakfast buffet could use a revamp as well, not to mention the (always slamming) doors in the rooms.

Very nice small hotel in Akrotiri

This hotel is very convenient for some of the smaller more private beaches on Santorini. You can easily access the caldera beach on the other side of the road from the hotel and there is an excellent small taverna (Remezzo) there. It is a bit of a steep walk up from the beach but well worth it for the excellent swimming and views from this small cove. To access some of the other small beaches on the south end of the island, some form of transport is required but again these were very well worth it. So the location of the hotel is perfect for this end of the island. Unfortunately, the dig at Akrotiri is closed but may reopen for the 2012 season. The staff at the hotel were incredibly nice and very helpful. The pool is a good size and quiet. Breakfast was fairly standard but the best of its kind I had in Greece.

good service, nice family

when we first arrived to the hotel, there was a small mixup with our reservation, but in a professional manner giorgios sorted it out and gave us a lovely room with a great view. the rooms were meticulously clean with daily maid service and the beds were very comfortable [i love a firm mattress]. great Air Con, but the shower is a bit small, although we found that to be true everywhere in greece. the food at the hotel restaurant was very nice and drinks were well priced, all served promptly. the gardens around the pool are also beautiful and provide a relaxing ambiance. flora helped us to reserve a boat tour around the island as well. the pool was one of the cleanest i have ever seen, and the water was not overly chlorinated like some get. on our final day we were driven to the port. we had a great time, thanks hotel kalimera! ps, keep your eye out for little aris, the adorable and very sweet hotel pup.

Relaxing stay at the Hotel Kalimera

After three night in Thira we moved to the south of the Island. The owner came and picked us up in the minibus which was fantastic. We arrived well before the check in time but got the choice of three lovely rooms. The room had a double bed, a traditional second floor with two single beds with a view of the rest of the room and a small, but well kept little garden with a table and two chairs and a view of some vines. The bathroom was a very good size with a good shower. The breakfast was a choice of cereals, toast, cheese,ham, boiled eggs, cake, tea, etc. The pool was very attractive, quite large and clean, with steps leading into the shallow end of 1.6m. The owners were delightful and very helpful with any requests. Our only small disappiontment was the quality of the towels, they just didn't feel totally dry.a very In all, a very pleasant and peaceful hotel with delightful owners.

Great hotel

If your looking for a quiet relaxing time to Santorini then this hotel is for you, Excellent staff, very helpful a good breakfast and a great pool. If your looking for a party place then this isn't for you. there is a local bus outside the hotel but its easier if you rent a car, With a car the beach is 5 mins away... but if you want to put your feet up by the pool then stay here I would definatly stay here again when i return to Santorini

Great hotel for a great price

The room was a lot bigger then I expected and the view was great. I was really happy with the location, it's right across from the Caldera beach and close to the red beach. It is also close to a lot of good restaurants, and the area is a lot less touristy then Fira. Overall I was really happy with this hotel. Where ever you stay in Santorini remember to pack some hiking shoes.

Great service. Quiet location.

My daughter and I stayed in August 2009. The service was impeccable - they really treat their guests like family! The bed mattresses were hard and the sheets were stiff, otherwise everything was clean and well cared for. There is a small refrigerator in the rooms, although no food or drinks allowed outside by the pool unless purchased from the Hotel. Breakfast was good, although same meal each day.

Nice hotel, but consider the location and some other factors.

My friend and I stayed at the Kalimera hotel for three nights during August. It really was a lovely hotel, very clean and quaint. One of the reasons we booked this particular hotel, however, was for the sea view that it boasted and the fact that it was only 200 meters from the ocean. This is a bit deceiving, however. It may be 200 meters walk from the ocean, but that is straight downhill - a VERY rough climb if you're on the return hike uphill! It was also not a very good swimming beach, as it was very rocky everywhere. If you plan to lay out and soak in the sun, this is not the place you're looking for. The hotel itself is not in a good location. True, the bus stop is right out front, but you have to take a bus to get to Fira and then another bus to go anywhere else! Everything that you want to see is elsewhere on the island. There is basically nothing in Akrotiri unless you're interested in the ancient ruins (no thanks). As for the hotel itself, the pool was very nice and appealing, but slightly small. The breakfast buffet was sparse, with a few cereals, yogurt, deli meats (which all tasted like bologna), cheeses, bread, and hard-boiled eggs. Nice, but it gets a bit old after the first morning or two. Also, I would agree with the other reviewers about the uncomfortable beds. They were hard as a rock. And the sheets were also hard. They desperately need to try fabric softener. The bathrooms were small - especially the showers! They were maybe a 4 sq.-foot area in the corner with a shower curtain that constantly stuck to me every second of my shower! Very annoying. Overall, the Kalimera was o.k., and may very well be perfect for some travelers, but my friend and I were disappointed that it wasn't what we had thought it to be. I definitely would not stay there again. Even if the rooms are a little more expensive, I would try to say in Fira, Oia, or one of the towns on the East coast that have more of a resort feel with some nice sandy beaches!

3 night stay

We stayed at the Hotel Kalimera for some rest and relaxation after taking a 7 day tour of Greece. We loved it. It is in a quiet area of Santorini, just what we wanted, we had had enough of the crowds. The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff was helpful.

Peaceful Getaway

We stayed in Hotel Kalimera for two days and it was perfect. Our room was unique with a great view. We had a balcony that overlooked the Aegean Sea. The room was clean and air conditioned with lots of lighting throughout the room. The views from the hotel were picturesque. The pool was great with nice seats and a seating area that overlooked the pool. The pool was clean and the seats were cozy. The owners of the hotel were nice, helpful, and professional. They made our stay a wonderful experience. This family run hotel is well worth a visit. We will defiantly go back to this hotel. Thank you for the great stay.

Lovely place!

This was a very nice place. I wasn't quite aware of how far it was from Fira and Oia, but that may be my fault. We did not rent a car and the busses were OK but not very frequent. Careful planning was required to get around. We especially liked eating there in the evening -- their home-cooked meals were a treat. They were also good about helping to make boat reservations and taxi rides.

Would not stay again

By looking at the photos on-line and thee rating of 3 stars, we expected a decent, clean and comfortable room. We also expected customer service, as we read the other reviews. This is not what we found at Hotel Kalimera. We booked a Queen room, however, when we arrived we were told that they had no more Queens available and that we needed to take the 2-twin bed room. The beds were hard as bricks and sheets were even worse. The next day we spoke to the manager again and threatened to leave if we were unable to change rooms. He put us in a Queen room, however, it was not much better than the first. The sheets, blankets and bath towels had stains all over them. The bathroom was dirty and smelled as if had never been cleaned. The bathroom sink was partially inside the tiny shower. I would not reccomend staying at this hotel. The condition is terrible.

Leisure time in Santorini

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed in during our 10 day trip to Greece. The pool was gorgeous, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the public bus was easy to maneuver. However, we found dthe staff to be completely disinterested in meeting our needs. Although they advertise in multiple places on the property that they would provide free transport around the island coming to or from the hotel to start your reservation, they provided no such accomodation on either end. They gave us information for taxis, which considering their distance from Fira Town was a substantial charge. It was also difficult to find assistance if we wished drinks or food poolside. If you are looking for a quiet few days in Santorini to enjoy a larger space than generally offered in Fira Town, with a gorgeous pool, then this is an excellent choice for the $$. But do not expect much from the staff.

Bon hotel propre et bien desservi.

Hotel propre. En face du bus. Petit déjeuner bon. Petit balcon et seche linge. Pour la chambre, je ne sais pas si cela vaut pas la peine de payer plus cher pour avoir une vue sur un autre hotel.

Koselig sted

Var her i 3 netter. Utmerket service, fint bar/restaurant/bassengområde. Gangavstand til strand/dykking, Akritiri og the Red Beach.

Hotel très propre joliment decoré (félicitations au jardinier) et personnel très accueillant. L'établissement est vraiment agréable nous y avons passé des moments merveilleux. Flora parle français et est très aidante en conseil culturel et en démarches, tout comme ses collègues. C'est un hôtel familial donc calme, c'était vraiment appréciable. Je recommande vivement !

Fantastique

Hotel fantastique, personnel fantastique, idéal pour petite famille ou cadre romantique. Merci encore. Dédicace a louis pour son travail !

La signora della reception ha saputo darci le giuste indicazioni per la visita dell'isola, la struttura è gradevole anche esteticamente e soprattutto molto pulita

Bra pris för en fin upplevelse.

Mycket bra bemötande med tydlig struktur och hjälpsamhet. Perfekt ställe för avslappning vid poolen med både mat och dricka. Frokusten är fullt tillräcklig. Önskar du en badstrand är The redbeach ca 30 min gång bort. Det finns även bra restauranger i byn samt en mataffär. Om du vill ta dig på en tur till Thira är busshållplatsen precis utanför hotellet. Bussen till Thira kostar ca 1,8€ och tar ca 25 min. Fråga i receptionen om tidtabellen. Rekommendera detta hotell och kommer att besöka det igen då vi reser till Santorini.

Hôtel agréable🙏

Hôtel agréable joliment décoré avec une bonne ambiance en général satisfait juste un peu brillant côté rue mais avec une belle vue pour compenser l’entretien est parfait je recommande pour un petit séjour

The workers were super polite.

Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti presso l’hotel Kalimera. Accoglienza perfetta, pulizia eccelsa e vista stupenda. Forse l’unico consiglio è la sostituzione del materasso (che cigola un po’).

Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst en hulp met alles. Aandacht voor covid maatregelen bij ontbijt. Lekker ontbijt. Propere accomodatie. Kortom een aanrader !

Santorini kalimera

Personale attento carino e cortese

Dos dias de encanto

El hotel esta en una ubicacion estrategica cerca de la zona arqueologica de Acrotiri. El bus que une con Fira para delante del hotel. Los propietarios son encantadores y tratan por todos los medios de hacer una estadía especial. La comida es excelente y casera. Sentarse y mirar el mar entre montañas (la caldera) era como para quedarse eternamente

Cortesia muito educado as recepcionista e dona, atenciosa. Parabens

Très bien situé et avec une vue à coupé le souffle à partir du balcon. Déjeuner très bien et propriétaire dévoué.

Das Hotel ist wirklich sehr schön. Moderner Stil und doch irgendwie griechisch. Lage direkt am Meer im Dorf Akrotiri. Kleiner Strand fußläufig entfernt, allerdings steiler Weg. Einige Restaurants fußläufig entfernt. Der Bus nach Chora hält direkt vorm Hotel. Zimmer sehr klein, Balkon sehr klein. Frühstücksbuffet war vorhanden. Santorini als Insel hat uns allerdings überhaupt nicht gefallen. Tausende von Menschen liefen durch die Stadt (es lagen 4 Kreuzfahrtschiffe im Hafen !!!) im Hafen. Völlig überlaufen! Auch den tollen Sonnenuntergang in Oia wollten tausende von Menschen sehen. Einfach nur schrecklich.
