Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini
We recently celebrated our second honeymoon at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini for nine unforgettable days, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm—something we truly appreciate as owners of a luxury wedding venue in the U.S. The pool design is stunning, especially with the evening lighting that creates such a magical atmosphere. Our room offered breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, and every morning felt like a postcard come to life. That said, if you're sensitive to loud music during daytime hours (especially between 11:30 AM and 7 PM), avoid rooms directly overlooking the main pool area—the vibe can get quite lively. Also, while the private pools are charming, some could use more greenery and decorative touches to feel more intimate. And be aware: for about 80% of the pool-access rooms, neighboring units overlook your space, so privacy isn’t always guaranteed. Still, this didn’t take away from our overall joy. We highly recommend choosing a view-oriented room over one with just a small pool. Thank you, Nikki Beach, for an extraordinary experience!

Staying at Zannos Melathron was an absolute dream come true. Nestled in the charming Byzantine village of Pirgos on Santorini, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the volcanic caldera and the entire island—truly a postcard-perfect setting. The architecture is stunning, with elegant white buildings that contrast beautifully against the deep blue Aegean Sea. Every detail reflects care and authenticity. We were warmly welcomed by the team who truly embody Greek hospitality—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Special thanks to the cleaning staff for keeping everything spotless and welcoming. It’s rare to find such genuine warmth and excellence in service. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone visiting Santorini.

The hotel’s location is perfect—close to town yet quiet enough to relax. Our room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with views of the caldera. The only small suggestion would be to include more vegetable options at breakfast, as that’s the one area where it could be improved. Overall, though, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santorini.
Santorini Dreams Villas
Staying at Santorini Dreams Villas was an absolute dream come true. Nestled in a picture-perfect location, the property offers breathtaking views that make every moment feel magical.

Stunning views from the room—every morning started with a breathtaking view of the caldera, and the sunset was absolutely unforgettable.
