If you want to be close to the heart of town but you like a bit of peace and quiet, the Gardenia could be the Santorini stay for you. This family-run hotel can be found on a quiet road that’s conveniently slotted in the middle of Perissa’s main street and the seafront, meaning you’ve got a beach, a generous handful of restaurants, and the bus stop towards Thira – the island’s capital – within a five-minute walk.
