Smy Mediterranean White Santorini

I had a very nice 2 day stay at this hotel, it was located closely to the airport. The owner was very helpful and the rest of the staff the room had a balcony overlooking the pool. Their is a local shop closeby where you can buy coffees and breakfast.

We we went with a big tour group and there was a horrible sewer smell in lots of rooms. When we brought it to the attention of the staff they didn't address it. It was only after repeated complaints that they compensated us with a bottle of wine. The pool was very pretty but needs updates and repairs. Everything was dated. The location was very remote. I do not recommend this hotel.

Was really looking forward to this trip. On the plus side a gorgeous classic greek hotel, white with lots of lovely features. Windmill room is stunning (but no balcony so if you like sitting outside at night, not the room for you). Very clean - maids in every day and never any bother at all. Breakfast, after the initial disappointment of no freshly cooked omelettes, was actually really good and varied from cooked meats to muesli and pastries. On the negative side and some of these will just be preference. Right next to airport so you hear planes at various points in the day (didn’t bother us). Hotel is remote and nearest town (Kamari) to walk to was 40mins. Did find a couple of nice restaurants locally but in middle of nowhere. You need to hire a car if you want to really explore and see all the sights. Bus services were half decent (€2 a trip) and everything starts and ends in Fira. Our hotel told us last bus home was 8pm. Taxis scarce and Uber min charge is around €36 euros. Santorini did not disappoint at all. Weather lovely, history lovely and food across the island lovely. Mainly stuff to greek but had an amazing italian (cacio e pepe) on the last night in Fira. Highly recommend.
