Akri Suites

You'll be enchanted by this stunning five-star hotel offering breathtaking views of the sparkling blue Aegean Sea. Your white-washed, beautifully designed villa perfectly balances traditional Cycladic architecture and modern amenities. Sit on your private terrace, soak in the sun's warmth, and admire the vistas. Your kitchenette is ideal for self-catering, so perhaps enjoy a meal and a glass of local wine on the terrace too.

Spend some time in the hotel's attractive gardens and relax in the outdoor hot tub, just soaking in the peace and quiet of this stunning location. With many of the island's top sights accessible from here, you'll have plenty to discover - if you can tear yourself away from this tranquil spot.

Enjoy the carefree and slower pace of village life; wandering the lanes and admiring the local architecture is a lovely way to spend your time, stopping in a local café or visiting the pretty local churches of Agios Efstratios and Agios Panteleimonas. And, with so many vineyards close by, you'd be remiss not to book a tour and a tasting or perhaps visit several nearby beaches, such as quiet Exo Gialos.

If you want a livelier day or evening out, the island's capital Fira is just 4km away. As the largest cosmopolitan settlement on Santorini, it's a great place to visit for a bustling atmosphere, with a wide array of restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs and several arts and cultural venues to explore, from the Megaro Gyzi Cultural Center with its art exhibitions, theatre and music performances to the Archaeological Museum of Thera and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, which both offer fascinating relics and information about the ancient history of the island and way of life.
