Our take
Hotel Thira is a very well-rated, traditional choice high up in Fira, with sea views from every room's balcony or terrace and a swimming pool to cool off between outings. It makes a good base for the volcano boat trips and Santorini's beaches. My advice: rooms are in the island's classic simple style rather than five-star luxury, and the high position means steps, worth considering with pushchairs.
- ✓Book a room with a balcony or terrace to fully enjoy the impressive sea views.
- ✓Take advantage of the spa-wellness facilities for a relaxing break after exploring the island.
- ✓Explore Fira's restaurants and shops on foot, as they are just a short walk from the hotel.

The swimming pool gives everyone a break from sightseeing, and the location works well for trips to the volcano and Santorini's beaches.
