Akra Suites & Spa

Had the best time here. Hotels fantastically located, the views are absolutely beautiful. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us. Friendly, super welcoming and always helpful. The breakfast was also very good, and the staff at breakfast were great too. Overall it was a hard to beat location, we are so glad we picked this and hadn’t realised how fortunate we would be with the location. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to others.

Excellent location and gorgeous views. This area is ideal if you want somewhere with the same feel as Oia but a little quieter with some good restaurants and bars within walking distance. You can also walk into Fira in 20 minutes. Pool is divine and staff are lovely. Rooms are spacious, wouldn’t say you need the outdoor jetted tub. We wouldn’t opt for this if we return.

The staff at this hotel/resort were exceptional and did everything to make your stay outstanding. The property is in the perfect location with the perfect view. If I had one criticism it would be that the bed is very hard, but everyone has their own preference. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to avoid the crowds of Fira and Oia.

And that view. The terrace is something else — the caldera, the sea, the sunset. We spent every evening there with a glass of wine and never got tired of it. A special thank you to the owner. She is warm, attentive and always happy to help with recommendations, transfers or anything else. That personal touch is what turns a good hotel into a place you want to return to. About the location — and this matters — we honestly think this spot is better than Oia. The same spectacular views, but without the crowds, the queues and the constant noise. You get the beauty and the peace at once, and everything you need is still within easy reach. Value for money is the best we found on the island. Comparable places charge far more and give you much less. If you are choosing where to stay, stop searching. We will be back 💯
