It’s no wonder that the mini archipelago is called Kalliste (‘most beautiful’) by the locals, and one of the world’s most romantic places by everyone else. Iconic Santorini brings this incredible destination to life, offering luxury accommodations, impeccable service, delicious local cuisine and jaw-dropping views.
Spectacular Views and Luxury Accomodation
A timeless experience awaits guests of the Iconic Santorini, a unique boutique cave hotel located in the picturesque Greek island village of ImerovigWhat makes Iconic Santorini so very special is that it is literally carved from the island’s volcanic rock, built in the style of the original cave dwellings which protected inhabitants of Imerovigli village from the island winds.
The smooth white walls are thick and cool, with hidden depths like heated and jetted pools in the grotto suites. Perched on the rim of the caldera, the hotel boasts an infinity pool (with a view you’ll want to gaze at for infinity), a pleasantly shaded restaurant serving the freshest Greek cuisine, and terraces dotted with daybeds and pots of fragrant lavender. And once you’ve seen the sun go down, in a watercolour pageant in shades of apricot, blush, orchid and gold, you’ll agree your heart is lost forever.

Arriving in Santorini, the icon of the Greek Isles, the remains of this once powerful volcano rise steeply from the azure blues of the Aegean Sea and produces stunning and majestic views. A quick 10km transfer later guests arrive in Imerovigli, perched on the dramatic caldera cliffs, surrounded by astonishing beauty. Just a few steps later, guests arrive at the Iconic Santorini, a unique boutique cave hotel carved into the caldera rim, where unparalleled service and inspired luxury create a truly timeless experience.
Located in the picturesque village of Imerovigli, the highest settlement along the caldera, Iconic Santorini offers panoramic views of the ancient volcano and a lofty ambience. In a short walk, guests can reach vehicle rentals, markets, quaint shops, historical architecture and an abundance of delightful local tavernas and restaurants. Strolling through the winding paths, guests may stop to admire the original settlements, many old churches and the ruins of medieval castles or savour the classic flavours of Santorini such as cherry tomatoes, fava, white aubergines and the finest Santorini wines. Within a few minutes’ walk are the sights of Fira and Firostefani, two lovely villages along the caldera. Whether shopping the abundance of storefronts, enjoying a multitude of dining options or simply taking in the view, an afternoon in these quaint towns will surely quench your appetite for the Greek Isles.
Santorini offers several transportation options and renting a car, scooter or ATV offers more time to take in the sights along the way. You may choose to spend your day relaxing on one of the islands’ unique beaches, visiting ancient historical sites such as the world famous ruins of Akrotiri, or picking your way through the local wine vineyards.
