Santorini Budget Hotels

Santorini Island is located in the Aegean Sea near Crete. This is one of the most attractive islands in the Cyclades. The island appeared after a volcanic eruption, when the part of the volcanic rock had gone under water and the remaining volcanic rock had formed a great crescent-shaped bay.

Each island of the Santorini archipelago - Thira, Therasia, Aspronisi, Old Kameni and New Kameni – is a true marvel of nature.

Here you will see red, white and black beaches; the volcano crater made of black lava, white majestic churches with blue domes, and divine sunsets and sunrises.
