Antonia Apartments is a family-owned budget hotel located near Fira's main square. Shopping, restaurants, bars, and the bus station are all within a short walk. It shares a lobby bar, outdoor splash pool, and other public spaces with its sister property, Antonia Hotel Santorini. The property's 10 apartments include simple, slightly dated Studios and One-Bedroom units. All have balconies, kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, and the larger units have sitting areas with sofa beds. The hotel provides free shuttle service to and from the port and airport. Travelers might want to also consider the Loucas Hotel, which has a bigger pool, serves breakfast, and is located closer to the cable cars that go to the Old Port, but rates will be higher.

Porto Fira Suites is an upscale, boutique hotel with pristine whitewashed stone walls and spectacular views of the sea and caldera. While it feels private, it's only a five-minute walk from the shops, restaurants, and nightlife in the heart of Fira. The property's 13 Suites feature chic, minimalistic decor and modern amenities like rainfall showers, minibars, and private furnished terraces, where guests can eat their breakfast, served in-room daily. Upgraded Suites add outdoor whirlpool tubs, sofa beds, and other extras. The hotel has a luxurious infinity pool plus a restaurant and bar, all situated among the property's layers of sea-view terraces -- the downside is that there are a lot of steps. Guests may want to compare rates with the Athina Luxury Suites, a similar property situated right next door.

The Panorama Boutique Hotel is an upscale, 15-room property set cliffside in Fira, overlooking the stunning caldera. The property takes full advantage of the views, with vantage points from its chic rooftop lounge, swimming pool, and the balcony of every room. Rooms are fresh and contemporary with nice amenities -- though most bathrooms are small. For a lot more space without losing the views check out the Enigma Apartments & Suites just along the cliff, but lose the pool and bar areas.

Astro Palace Hotel & Suites is not quite the five-star property it bills itself as, but it is a solid value for an upscale resort located just about a 10-minute, semi-uphill walk from the bustling center of Fira with its plethora of restaurants, shops, and beaches. The property has an esteemed on-site spa with a serene vibe and indoor whirlpool, plus a sauna. The restaurant Pleiades earns kudos for lunch and dinner, but past guests have complained about the quality of free breakfasts. Wi-Fi and parking are free and guests can borrow iPads. Rooms and suites have cool architectural details like loft spaces and small private pools, but lack the traditional Cyclades style found on the rest of the island and some feature single beds pushed together. It may be worth comparing rates at Lilium Villas Santorini, a hotel with stylish modern flair and many of the same facilities.

San Marino Suites is an upscale boutique hotel that offers the hippest aesthetic we've seen in Santorini. The seven suites (including one romantic villa with a private pool) manage to artfully combine traditional cave-style architecture with Mid-century modern accents and high-tech features. The outdoor swimming pool has a club vibe with dance music and stylish sun loungers (but no view) and a hip bar. There's a charge for the Greek continental breakfast and no other meals are served at the hotel. The major downside for this price point is that the hotel is located a 10-minute walk to Fira's scenic caldera, but there are sunrise views of the Aegean Sea from the rooms and a large lawn peppered with olive trees and hammocks. Travelers who want a boutique hotel with breathtaking caldera views should check rates at Aria Suites Hotel -- but rooms aren't as sleek.

The Evgenia Villas & Suites is a three-pearl boutique hotel within a 10-minute walk to Fira's scenic caldera. The 14 cave-style rooms have been updated to include minibars and lovely tiled bathrooms; some have furnished balconies overlooking the swimming pool or the Aegean Sea shimmering in the distance. The outdoor swimming pool has a club vibe with dance music and stylish sun loungers (but no view) and a hip bar. There's a charge for daily Greek continental breakfast and no other meals are served at the hotel. Staff is especially helpful and hands on for suggesting tours and excursions. Note that parking is down the street in an abandoned movie theater. For access to the same features, but sleeker rooms, check rates at the adjacent sister hotel: San Marino Suites.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Loucas Hotel was built in the 1930s and is one of the oldest continuously operating hotels on Santorini, with some of the best views of the caldera. It's also one of the few properties in Fira that's open year-round, though both the Greek restaurant, Aris, and Crystal Cocktail Bar close in the winter. Most guests love the views and the easily walkable location (via steps) to restaurants, jewelry stores, and the cable cars. Less popular are the free daily breakfast and though the 30 cave-style rooms all have caldera views, the decor is bland and past guests have complained about maintenance issues and slow Wi-Fi. For something with way more style (but no caldera views) and a better free breakfast, check rates at San Marino Suites.

Nomikos Villas is a straightforward mid-range boutique hotel with a walkable and scenic location on the edge of the caldera in Fira. It's within easy walking distance of countless restaurants and souvenir shops, but it's about a 10-minute walk to the heart of the village (and ferry port), so there's a bit more privacy and quiet. The 15 elegant guest rooms offer a range of conveniences from wet bars to sleeping lofts, but not all of them have private balconies and some have tube-style TVs. A free continental breakfast is delivered to guest rooms and there's a pool bar by the plunge pool and whirlpool. There's certainly little to complain about here, but Ilioperato Traditional Apartments is a lot more stylish and has a full restaurant and much better free breakfast for around the same price.

Antonia Hotel Santorini is a family-owned budget property with 15 rooms and studios. The east-facing hotel doesn't have any of Santorini's world famous sea views, but a location on a quiet street just a couple minutes’ walk from Fira's main square makes up for it. Standard rooms and studios with balconies are available, though past guests have noted that triple rooms can feel cramped for three people. There isn't an on-site restaurant, but coffee and wine are free. Two tiny outdoor pools, free Wi-Fi, and nearby parking are nice perks for this price point, as is the free shuttle to the airport or port. Oia's Sunset, in the northwest tip of Santorini, is another value property, this one with visible sea views from some of the apartments and a relatively large pool.

Tzekos Villas occupies a gleaming, white, traditional Cycladic building cascading down the side of the western cliff face of Fira, the capital of Santorini. Rooms range from small to spacious, though all have superb caldera-view terraces or balconies, and some even have private hot tubs. While the swimming pool is one of the area's largest, getting to it from most levels requires lots of stairs so this hotel is not suited for those with mobility challenges. It is also a little dated in part, but overall the rates are surprisingly reasonable for an upper-middle-range hotel with one of the finest vantage points on the island.
