Best The Leading Hotels of the World in Greece

The property is also home to a spa and three eateries that serve a variety of Mediterranean cuisine, including the Pool Bar & Restaurant.

Kirini Santorini's all-suite accommodations are awash in fresh white tones and luxurious amenities like soft bedding, free Wi-Fi access, Nespresso coffee makers and satellite TV.

Outside of the rooms, vacationers can enjoy the outdoor pool and poolside bar or indulge in A.SPA's pampering treatments, sauna, steam room, indoor Jacuzzi and heated indoor pool. To get your blood pumping, reserve a cardio machine at the appointment-only gym – though, according to recent guests, climbing the abundance of stairs throughout the property may be all the exercise you need. When hunger strikes, travelers can dine at Anthós Restaurant, which serves up local gourmet fare alongside breathtaking views of the turquoise sea.
