This hotel is very simple, its location, location, location!! You have Caldera View, and are in tou the centre, what more do you want! They even have sunloungers on the terrace and embrella's. The beds are hard, but thats greek. For 3 nights its okay, for more comfort you have to pay more. We were here in May 2007. Tip;... More

We were recommended this hotel by the man at the tourist office at the port when our ferry to Crete was cancelled because of the strong winds (The Hellenic Seaways Flyingcat – I gathered later this is a common occurrence) and we needed a room for the night. It was a bad mistake. This hotel has two serious problems. The... More

The only really good thing about this hotel is the views. And the views are spectacular. Each room has its own balcony overlooking the caldera. There were a few issues with the room-it smelled like donkey since our room was right next to the donkey trail up the cliff AND the room was kind of dingy, but it is all... More

clean hotel with an incredible view of the amazing caldera of Santorini.Good and tasty food at the restaurant. But the rating of an hotel or restaurant is not only a question of cleaning and quality of food. It's principally a question of kindness and hospitality. The reason of my lowest rating about Porto Carra is just depending on the last... More

This must be one of the best value for money hotels in Thira!! The views were unbeatable and that for less than 100 Euros including breakfast. Our room was very spacious and clean. Even though the owners speak very little English, they were very helpful and friendly. We are going back there this year!

We stayed at the Porto Carra after asking the locals for an economical option on the caldera rim - 40 Euros in June for the amazing view I have ever seen. My wife and I were blown away - we were surrounded by hotels where people were paying nearly 9 times what we paid for the same view. Admittedly, rooms... More

My wife and I stayed at Porto Carra in June, 2004, and absolutely loved it. We had heard stories about how expensive it was to stay on the Caldera, but everyone said there's no point going to Santorini if you are going to stay anywhere but the Caldera. People - it is definitely worth the extra dollars! Porto Carra has... More
