Very enjoyable week at the Zephyros
We've never been to Santorini before but knew that choosing a base to suit our plans was an important decision. If only staying 2-3 nights then possibly Fira would be better (for us) as it's the main hub to everywhere else. But for a week, we're really glad we chose Kamiri. You get the beach holiday, with a relaxed vibe, more tavernas and shops than you can shake a stick at, a boat trip round the jutting mountain to Perissa, a 15 minute bus ride to Fira (bus still runs every 30 mins in October) and lots of excursion options from a variety of companies for all the "Must Dos". That way, you can do all the caldera stuff, but have very relaxing mornings and evenings.
Our experience at the Zephyros was totally positive throughout, even starting with an unexpected room upgrade ! Our poolside room was very large and changed/cleaned to a very high standard, even to the point of cleaning the windows every day. In fact the whole hotel feels spotless and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and a special mention here must go to the breakfast ladies who are very attentive and resolutely upbeat and the lady who mans the poolside bar from morning to evening . It's a 5 minute walk to the main bus stop to Fira which itself is close to the Kamari Tours head office where we got picked up for the two excursions we did (as mentioned, many other companies are available). From here it's just a short, pleasant stroll to the beach. The hotel is also relatively close (700 m) to the open-air cinema, albeit this was closed for the season during our week. The pool and surrounding area is excellent, with plenty of loungers.
We would definitely return to the Zephyros and also happily recommend it to others planning a Santorini stay.
Were going back
Hotel is very well kept in really good condition and spotlessly clean. Our room a suite with a hot tub was fabulous. Very high standards for house keeping cleaned fully and linen changed daily. Location very good for getting buses and a short walk down to resort centre. Staff were hardworking and very grand everyone made us feel at home and part of the family. Even the cats were friendly. Breakfast was a lovely selection and friendly staff ready to make my choice of omelette and coffee. The pool area was very well kept, comfortable sunbeds with a good bar service. We wouldn't hesitate to return or to recommend that you book here.

Great hotel
Before booking I checked the reviews and thought it can't be that good can it? Just returned from a week's stay and can certainly confirm that it is. We have never stayed at such a clean and clutter free hotel. The staff were extremely efficient and anything out of place was soon dealt with. Breakfast had everything you could want, the homemade cakes were excellent. Our room, a standard double was on the small side but the balcony was quite spaceous. Perhaps consider upgrading to the next level or even higher. Yes, the hotel is a little uphill from the beach, but nothing we found particularly demanding (we're in our 70s) The public buses are really good, once you work out where the stops are and on which side of the road for where you are going. Basically, you have to go to Fira and onwards from there. The island is quite steep in places and there are lots of steps in certain areas and the pathways are not necessary pavements. Had some really good meals in Kamari, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, average cost of main course 20 euros, and there was usually a complimentary ouzo or small dessert. Would we go back? Yes we would on a return visit to Santorini.
Superb little hotel
First time in Santorini, choose this hotel on reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Very central to all amenities and a super clean friendly and comfy beds. It’s a small hotel, and that is probably the reason for 3* Breakfast was basic but very nice and you could have as much as you liked. Would normally go 5* plus and having travelled round the island we were glad we hadn’t. We will definitely return to this lovely hotel if we returned to Santorini one day.
Great h quiet hotel, centrally located
Have to agree with all reviews re hotel, location etc not a lot more to add apart from very disappointed pool bar closes 7p.m!!! Comfy sunbeds but packed very close together, some are in shade most of the day. I would come back tho as everything else is great. If u want to have a change from Greek cuisine can highly recommend the Chinese reataurant.
