Then, Of Course, There’s the Views

Firostefani is Greek for “crown,” so named because of its position as the highest point in Santorini. It sits over the caldera, offering excellent caldera views and sprawling views of the Aegean Sea. While Oia and Fira may be known for their sunset views, Firostefani, Santorini is known for its sunrise. If you wake up early enough, you may be able to see it in all its glory from your own hotel. And because most of the crowds are in Fira, you’ll be able to enjoy these splendid views without feeling packed in with thousands of other tourists.

Accommodations on a Budget

A vacation to Santorini isn’t cheap, and in order to get the most of it, many visitors would like to spend as little of their budget as possible on their accommodations, so they can spend the rest of the budget exploring the island. Fira is understandably one of the more expensive locations, as the center of everything in Santorini. On the other hand, accommodations like apartments, studios, and hotels in Firostefani, Santorini are considerably less expensive than those in Fira. You can find quality, luxurious accommodations in Firostefani for significantly less than their equivalents in Fira, and then walk to Fira from your hotel.
