Pyrgos is Santorini in slow-motion – a preserved hilltop village of whitewashed houses, blue-domed chapels and cobbled alleys where life still revolves around the square. Smy Santorini Suites & Villas sits on the hillside just above, wrapped in vineyards and volcanic landscapes, with far-reaching views to the coast.

You’re close enough to dip into Fira’s buzz and Kamari’s black-sand beach, yet can retreat to a quieter, more authentic base when the day-trippers melt away. Evenings are all about sunset cocktails by the pool or wandering down to Pyrgos’ wine bars and tavernas.

• Hillside setting above Pyrgos
• 200m to Pyrgos resort centre (cafés, tavernas and bars)
• 3km to Fira resort centre
• 5.4km to Kamari beach (black sand, watersports, tavernas)
• 8.4km to Santorini’s famous Red Beach

Approx. transfer time from airport: 20 minutes

Pyrgos, Santorini, Greece

The heart of the hotel’s food and drink scene is the relaxed Terracotta Restaurant & Bar, spilling out onto a panoramic terrace so you can pair your mezze with a view.

Expect a mix of international favourites and Greek specialities, with an emphasis on fresh seasonal produce and Santorini flavours.

• Terracotta Restaurant & Bar – Buffet and à la carte options across breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks during the day. Greek and international dishes, vegetarian choices and local wines. Kids’ menu and highchairs available.
• Poolside lounge bar – An easy-going spot for coffees, chilled Greek beer, cocktails and sundowners, usually open 12:00–23:00 (seasonal).

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evening. Restaurant opening times, menus and whether reservations/supplements apply can vary by season and board basis; always check the latest information on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Smy Santorini Suites & Villas centres around a generous outdoor freshwater pool, framed by whitewashed walls and loungers that seem to spill into the horizon. It’s one of the more expansive pool areas on the island, so even in high season there’s room to stretch out.

• Large main pool with panoramic hillside views
• Integrated children’s section, ideal for younger guests
• Whirlpool area for a more indulgent soak
• Spacious sunbathing terrace with sunbeds and parasols (seasonal)

The hotel is inland, so there’s no direct beach, but black-sand Kamari beach is around 5.4km away and easily reached by taxi or hire car for a swim in the Aegean and a dose of classic Santorini seaside life.

This is a laid-back, do-as-much-or-as-little-as-you-like kind of stay. There’s no formal animation programme, so days tend to revolve around the pool, exploring Pyrgos or heading out to nearby wineries and beaches.

On site you’ll find:

• Sun terrace with loungers and parasols
• Reception with concierge-style assistance for restaurant reservations, winery visits and boat trips
• Luggage storage – handy for late departures
• Child-friendly touches such as a kids’ menu and highchairs

Any spa and beauty services that may be offered locally are typically at extra charge and subject to seasonal availability.
