Belvedere Hotel

Perched on a hilltop with beautiful views of the Aegean and volcano caldera, Belvedere Hotel is an inspiring property where honeymooners and romantic couples find just what they are looking for. The hotel, cascading down the hillside to a panoramic pool deck, is just the right distance from the crowds in Fira for a peaceful holiday, yet within easy walking distance from its shops, museums and nightlife. The hotel décor is a showcase of romantic, traditional island architecture; you'll also find that the staff are very friendly (and relaxed) and help to make you feel you were at home... or much better still!

Guestrooms all feature balconies or terraces with spectacular views of the caldera. You can choose between a Studio with a kitchenette or a Junior suite with a comfortable living room, as well as opt for the duplex Master suite which has room for up to four people, hydromassage bathtub and sauna, and stunning views. Breakfast is included in the rate and is best enjoyed from your balcony, or you may want to go down to soak up the atmosphere in the pool bar which serves anything from traditional Greek liqueur to a delicious 'frappé' at any time of day, as well as light snacks. The hotel also has provides a sauna and gym.

Belvedere Hotel is located just outside Fira, the capital of the island, a marriage of Venetian and Cycladic architecture, whose white cobblestone streets bustle with shops, tavernas, hotels and cafes, while clinging to the rim of the caldera above its port. Nearby attractions include the village of Oia, with its famous sunsets, and Akrotiri, a 3,500 year old Minoan town preserved in volcanic ash. The island also has a number of excellent black sand and red sand beaches, some of them reachable only by sea.
