Athina Luxury Suites

"The room, the food, the views, the staff; absolutely everything was just perfect. My husband and I stayed here in July for our belated honeymoon/5 year anniversary. We opted for the Cave Honeymoon Suite with Indoor & Outdoor Jacuzzi as a bit of a splurge and it was so worth it. Firstly, the room. Spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud (to the point I struggled to sleep when we got home!). All of the amenities you could possibly need. The balcony is much the same; so much space with plenty of seating. The views are just something else. There’s no need to fight the crowds to see the sunset when you can watch it from the comfort of an egg chair! One thing I will say is that the pools were a little chilly but perfect for a quick dip to cool down. The food. We did not have a single bad meal here. Breakfast is perfection, delivered to your room each morning with so many options to choose from - you really can’t go wrong! We opted to order room service for lunch on a couple of days and, again, no complaints whatsoever. My husband said the burger is the best he’s ever had! The staff. The staff here truly cannot do enough for you. From the porters who carry your luggage (I don’t know how they make it look so easy!), to the reception staff who are so welcoming and friendly, helping with advice and reservations, to the housekeepers who have the most impeccable attention to detail. They truly make this hotel what it is. Thank you to all at Athina - we could not recommend you highly enough!"

"WOW - all I can say is wow. The Athina was everything we had hoped and more. Set on the cliffs of Fira, the views are breathtaking. Our suite had a huge balcony, and the sunset view rivalled any you would get in a restaurant. The rooms were cool and clean, and we were given a delicious bottle of local wine on arrival. The swimming pool is perfect for an afternoon beer overlooking the caldera. Eric the barman was brilliant, so friendly and kind. Having breakfast served each morning on our balcony was a real treat - to sit in our robes, taking in the view, taking our time and really relaxing was one of my favourite parts of our stay. The location is excellent, lots of bars and restaurants nearby and close to the winding labyrinth that make up Fira’s streets. We made the 10k walk from Fira to Oia and I would 100% recommend this if you are able. The views are unbelievable! The bell boys are on hand to help with luggage - which we needed, the steps can be steep and Jimmy the Legend our driver was full of local knowledge which he shared with so much enthusiasm, we hoped he would be our driver every time we booked a car. The hotel reception team are incredibly helpful. always on hand to answer any questions and advise. We really did have the best stay and are already planning on when we can return."

"Hotel is nice and in a great location. The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially the bartender Nikos and his team at the pool bar. The concierge was also very helpful. The buffet breakfast is also excellent."
