Santorini is considered one the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean. Planning a visit? Check our 2021 top hotels in Santorini for gay travelers.

The best hotels on Santorini are perched along the cliff edge overlooking the stunning caldera in or close to the towns of Fira, Imerovigli and Oia.



Hotels away from the caldera are cheaper, particularly those on the eastern coast. The coastal town of Kamari is just south of Santorini Airport and about a 20-minute drive from Fira.
