A well-placed, well-priced collection of suites and villas in Santorini’s most sought-after village, Oia If Santorini's sunset is the greatest open-air cinema in the world, then Esperas is its prime seat. Perched on the west-facing cliffs of the island's most westerly village, it stares straight into Helios' golden eye as it plunges into Homer's wine-dark seas. It's a truly mythical moment, amplified by a glass of Dionysos' local nectar, and sealed with spontaneous applause from a hundred guests lining the caldera's edge. Come the morning, it's a collage of cobalt sea, azure sky, turquoise pool, all offset by the curved whites of Esperas' vaulted houses and the hard lines of those dark, volcanic cliffs. But it's not just about poetry. Esperas is also an extremely sensible choice of hotel. Clean, comfortable cave-houses with private kitchen and terrace, excellent English-speaking staff who cannot do enough to help you, and prices which are refreshingly sane in the mad world of Santorinian tourism – it all adds up to our favourite place to stay on this breathtaking, busy little island. read more and book at i-escape
