Best Marriott International Hotels in Santorini

If you’re looking to stay away from the crowds during your visit to Santorini, Greece, the Vedema is an ideal option. The Vedema is located in Megalochori, which is several miles south of the popular yet notoriously crowded neighborhoods of Fira and Oia. But just because you’re more removed from these points of interest doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on Santorini Nearby attractions include Kamari Beach and Red Beach, two of the island’s most popular shorelines, as well as the ancient ruins of Akrotiri and highly rated wineries like Santo Wines and Venetsanos Winery. The Vedema’s location aside, recent guests had high praise for the hotel’s service, comfortable rooms and great amenities. Guests especially liked being greeted with smiles and fresh lemonade. Once you’ve arrived at your villa or suite, you’ll find traditional whitewashed walls, marble floors and minimalist interiors. You’ll also find a complimentary bottle of local white wine and amenities such as flat-screen TVs, minibars, complimentary Wi-Fi access and bathrooms with rainforest showers and separate bathtubs. Outside of your accommodations, you’ll find a fitness center, the Asian Spa and an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, which has plush lounge chairs and picturesque views of the surrounding town. Dining options include Alati, which is situated in a 400-year-old wine cave, a pool bar and Privé Dining, should you fancy a multi-course meal.
