Map & location
Oia, Santorini, Greece
Carved into the volcanic cliffs just outside Oia’s postcard-perfect centre, Katikies Kirini Santorini gazes straight across the caldera to the Aegean and the surrounding islets. You’re on the hillside yet within walking distance of Oia’s marble main street, boutiques, blue-domed churches and famous sunset viewpoints.
Spend the day exploring cobbled lanes and art galleries, then retreat back to the quiet of the hotel’s terraces as the crowds thin and the village lights begin to twinkle below.
- Monolithos Beach 15.5km
- Kamari Beach 19.4km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s showstopper is its outdoor freshwater infinity pool, seemingly spilling into the caldera below. Tiered sunbathing decks with loungers and parasols cascade down the cliff, giving plenty of quiet corners to bask in the sun with a book or a glass of Assyrtiko in hand.
While Katikies Kirini Santorini doesn’t sit directly on a beach (few caldera hotels do), Santorini’s dark-sand shores are easy to reach by taxi – from the laid-back sweep of Monolithos to lively Kamari with its bars and tavernas lining the promenade.
Spa, sports & wellness
Retreat underground to the spa, where soothing white arches and low lighting create a cocooning atmosphere. Facilities include a steam room and whirlpool, along with a menu of signature rituals inspired by Greek botanicals and the sea. Massages, facials and body treatments focus on relaxation, detox and anti-ageing (extra charge; minimum age 13 years; seasonal opening hours typically 10:00–19:00).
