Apanemo Hotel & Suites

I had the absolute joy of staying for a while at Apanemo in Akrotiri, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt more like I was visiting old friends than checking into a hotel. The staff are some of the kindest, most helpful people I’ve ever met, always smiling, always ready to assist with anything. Nothing ever felt like too much for them. Apanemo is like a tiny village, and really doesn't feel like a hotel, it's quite awesome what the owners did there. And the view… where do I even begin? The Caldera stretched out before me like a painting. I spent quiet afternoons just sitting outside with a glass of wine, soaking it all in. It’s the kind of place that slows time down in the best way. Apanemo is tucked away on the calmer side of Santorini, in the village of Akrotiri, which I personally loved. It’s peaceful, serene, and feels more like real island life. That said, I’d definitely recommend having a car if you’re planning to explore the island easily. I really want to emphasise that Akrotiri is not Fira or Oia. This is a much more relaxed side of the island. To the entire team at Apanemo: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made me feel completely at home, and this stay is something I’ll never forget. I look forward to seeing you all again.

There was nothing to dislike.

This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life. The room was stunning, we stayed in the junior suite and it is SO worth it. The staff goes above and beyond, cleaning your room multiple times a day, providing so many services including amazing breakfast everyday. They made our Santorini experience SOO much better. Thank you thank you!

The location is spectacular. I love the quiet elegance it exudes. The owners and staff - constantly smiling. Helpful too.

Location, pool, views, and the hotel staff are unbeatable.

The view from our room was breathtaking. The staff is exceptional—truly outstanding. They are incredibly nice and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable. A thoughtful touch was the takeaway breakfast bag they provided us since we needed to check out early. The pool looked nice (and the view is out of this world), though we couldn't use it due to high winds and not-so-great weather. The location was convenient; we rented a car and easily explored the southern part of the island, which we found to be the best area of Santorini. Driving made it simple to reach Fira and nearby beaches (reachable in 5 to 15 min) . The breakfast was excellent; they give you a menu the day before so you can choose what you'd like. The room was very comfortable. They have a bar with a beautiful view where you can Get drinks and coffee from (also lunch, although we did not try it). Thank you to Heleni, Isabel, and Irias for the warm welcome!

The location might not be so great if you don't choose to rent a car (check with the accommodation the transfer options). The shower was not super hot for two showers in a row (not a problem for summer time). Remember that the tap water in the whole island the tap is salty (they gave us a large bottle of drinkable water a day which we used to brush our teeth and wash our face) :) a bit more attention to the fact we are vegetarian would be a extra bonus (we had bacon added to one of our breakfast dishes although I highlighted my dietary requirement). But this is minor considering that this place is superb (I hope I can come back soon)!
