Had the pleasure of staying at the Galini this summer and it’s one of the best hotels ive had the opportunity to stay at. Amazing views, very clean rooms, wonderful breakfast but most importantly the most amazing staff. This hotel makes you feel as if you are home and you can ask them for help anytime. Will miss this place and always recommend it.

We had to stay an additional day in Santorini and booked this hotel last minite. The communication was excellent and they arranged transportation to the port for us early in the morning and made us sandwiches to take on the trip . Much friendlier and hospitable than the resort we stayed when we arrived in Naxos.

The 2 bedroom family villa is amazing and it’s completely separate from the hotel itself. The villa is spacious and private with incredible views. The breakfast is so good and having it everyday in our private terrace with a caldera views. You don’t need to go anywhere to witness the famous Santorini sunset, you can just chill in your own private terrace or jetted tub. Highly recommend!
