The Caldera View Hotel is a three star establishment located on the island of Santorini, nestled between the traditional settlements of Akrotiri and Megalochori. Santorini (Thera), the southernmost island of the Greek Cyclades, is situated on the rim of a volcano that last erupted around 1600 BC. In this violent explosion of ash and lava, the sophisticated city of Akrotiri was buried and tidal waves destroyed many of the surrounding island settlements. Many still believe that the story of Akrotiri is in fact the origin of the myth of Atlantis. The Caldera View resort has the advantage of being only 8 minutes away from the town of Fira (6km), and is convenient to the famous southern beaches of the island, to Akrotiri with its ancient ruins, and to Santorini's unique "Red Beach". From the hotel property, guests can enjoy panoramic views of the volcano, the two seas, the Caldera cliff, and many romantic sunsets. Built in 1995, and designed in a Cycladic style, harmonizing with the island terrain, each of the Caldera View Hotel's 40 modern bungalows and maisonettes is comfortably furnished and equipped with all the amenities modern voyagers have come to expect. The resort's "Windmill" restaurant offers guests an authentic sampling of traditional Greek cuisine, set in a charming building constructed from local volcanic stones. A gorgeous double swimming pool, complete with hydro jets and artificial waterfall, is sure to delight the whole family! Friendly and efficient, the Caldera View staff is always on hand to make your stay relaxing and worry-free. The Caldera View Hotel is only minutes to fine dining, shopping, and entertainment venues.
