Our Stay at Dream Suites In Imerovigli

Although Oia is still the most popular town on the island, it's not necessarily the best place to stay. Prices are higher, it's a lot more crowded than other towns and you have virtually no privacy.

Our recommendation is to stay in Imerovigli – it takes about 25 minutes by car to get to Oia from here and you get the same stunning views of the caldera (and arguably even better sunsets), a more relaxed vibe and a lot less tourists. The town is just as beautiful and has just as many restaurants and bars as Oia, so don't worry - you won't be bored! Here we stayed at Dreams Luxury Suites in Imerovigli. It's a beautiful boutique hotel with just six suites, most of which have private pools and breakfast delivered to you.

Dreams Luxury Suites, Santorini

Orfeas Suite at Dreams Luxury Suites

The hotel consists of just 6 suites, originally built more than 100 years ago and renovated recently to preserve the original cave-house charm, so you get your quiet and privacy while also enjoying top-notch amenities. The hotel’s style is the perfect mix of traditional and modern but with an exclusive feel. It offers privacy and tranquility and excellent service. The combination of cozy and intimate interior and expansive views of the sea hit just the right spot for a romantic getaway.

There is no hotel restaurant but we did not feel like we needed it. The hotel is just steps away from so many amazing places to eat in Imerovigli and we often had lunch and dinner at Oia anyway. At Dreams, every day you get to pick what you’d like for breakfast the following day from a varied menu consisting of traditional greek yogurt and some international breakfast staples. The food was delicious and fresh and it was delivered to our suite at a pre-selected time so we got to enjoy it by the pool before we started our day.
