Overview

 
A cascade of whitewashed suites and villas clinging to Santorini’s caldera cliffs, Katikies Chromata Santorini is made for honeymoons and once-in-a-lifetime escapes. Think infinity pool melting into the Aegean, candlelit terraces, and a handful of ultra-stylish rooms – many with private pools or open‑air whirlpools. With personal concierge service, refined Greek dining and those endless volcano views, this is Santorini at its most cinematic.

Perched high above the Aegean with uninterrupted caldera views, Katikies Chromata Santorini layers cave-style suites, sugarcubes of white and sea-facing terraces down the cliffside. The showpiece is the sleek infinity pool carved into the rocks, but it’s the intimate scale, personalised service and dreamy sunsets that keep honeymooners coming back. For couples seeking Greece’s most iconic island scenery without sacrificing privacy, Katikies Chromata Santorini is a standout. In peaceful Imerovigli, it’s around 20 minutes from Santorini (JTR) airport yet feels a world away once you descend the steps to the cliffside infinity pool. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Imerovigli, Santorini, Greece

Katikies Chromata crowns the cliffs of Imerovigli, one of Santorini’s most sought-after vantage points. Here, whitewashed houses tumble down towards the sea and you’re front-row for those famous apricot and crimson sunsets over the caldera.

The hotel sits on the caldera path, so you can wander into Imerovigli’s tiny cluster of tavernas and wine bars in minutes, or stroll the scenic cliff walk towards Fira, the island’s lively capital around 2km away. Pori Beach lies just over 5km away for a change of scene and a dip at sea level.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 20 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Life at Katikies Chromata orbits the outdoor freshwater infinity pool, seemingly spilling into the Aegean. Sunbeds and umbrellas are set along the terrace so you can drift between refreshing dips, lazy sunbathing sessions and panoramic photo opportunities throughout the day.

Pool facilities usually operate from late April to early October, weather permitting, and pool towels are provided. There is no direct beach access from the cliffs, but nearby Pori Beach and other stretches of sand and pebble shorelines are a short drive or taxi ride away if you’d like time at sea level.

Spa, sports & wellness


This intimate hideaway is all about slowing down. A dedicated spa area offers massage and beauty treatments (local charge) typically between May and October, inviting you to pair caldera views with deeply relaxing therapies. Minimum age restrictions may apply to spa services.

You’ll also benefit from a personal lifestyle concierge and reception team, ready to help tailor your stay with restaurant reservations, sailing trips, wine tours, or private transfers around the island. Luggage storage and general concierge services are available, and Wi-Fi keeps you connected if you choose to be.
