Words and pictures cannot describe how incredible this home is. The caldera view and location are a perfect 10. The home is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained by Eirini. We loved every single second of staying here and wished we would have stayed longer than 3 days. Staying at Ikia Kriton will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

Just returned from 3 nights stay for my honeymoon and this accommodation exceeded all our expectations. We started our trip with Santorini and missed our connecting flight and had to wait for the next flight to Athens and then Santorini. 10 hours later, we finally made it late at night and were exhausted. Eirini who was the host was gracious and kind in rearranging our transfer. The hotel is in a house unit and facing the caldera which must be reached by steps from the main road. I highly recommend to book transfer through hotel especially if you have not been to Santorini. Eirini then meet us at the drop off area and walked us to the hotel. The view in front door step is just breathtaking and the hotel is beautiful. Very authentic with cave like bathroom, spacious with living room, full kitchen and bedroom area. Eirini was so kind prepared us fresh cookies she baked earlier and a bottle of wine. Comes with all toiletries amenities including a slipper which I appreciate as not hotel offers. Eirini took the time explaining the map of Santorini and this hotel comes with bus schedule, maps and guide books for guests. Overall stay was very pleasant, housekeeping once a day. The best part is waking up to sunrise overlooking caldera with a coffee in your hand. We rented an ATV the next day and rode around the island all day and visiting beaches, Oia and Thira and full of tourists from cruise ships made us even more thankful that we choose Imerovigli.

Beautiful house with very stylish decos, spacious and very clean. We could see spectacular View of the Caldera from the windows, and from a deck. The owner Eirini is very nice and helpful. She met us at the village Square on arrival and helped us to carry the luggage to the house. She let us leave our luggages in her house after we checked out and she also arranged the airport taxi for us. Thank you, Eirini!

Beautiful house with incredible view!
The house is absolutely delightful, very clean, lovely styling & the view is incredible. The host was so accommodating, she waited up till midnight to show us into our room and tell us all the things to do and see. A complimentary bottle of wine, grapes, olive oil and her home made biscuits were a lovely touch. We had the best time in Santorini and could not recommend this place highly enough!

Beautiful home in Imerovigli
Just returned from spending 3 nights at Ikia Kriton (2 person apt) so here’s my review ... firstly the home was beautiful and extremely clean with a lovely outside area where you can sit with a drink in the shade looking at the Caldera, there’s also a private sun terrace with 2 sun loungers. The host Eirini was absolutely amazing, courteous and informative- she arranged our transfers to and from the airport and met us on arrival - she showed us around the home and gave us some useful information about Imerovigli and Santorini (nothing seemed too much trouble for her and she made us feel very welcome and relaxed) Theres no pool at the accommodation however within a one minute walk guests can use th pool at Zenith Blue (you have to pay €10 per person on drinks) The home has a lovely restaurant (Blue Note) a few steps away where you have an amazing view of th sunset and there is a nice small bar a few steps away so it really does have everything you could want within easy walking distance. Imerovigli is a perfect place to stay as it’s quieter than Fira but only a 20 minute walk away from the main town. I would absolutely 100% recommend Ikia Kriton and trust me when I say you won’t be disappointed. We would definitely return and would only stay here. Thank you Eirini for all your kindness and assistance you really did enhance our experience.

The apartment is located in Imerovigli (awesome location) with so much to do in the area, a good hike to Oia, and amazing restaurants within 5 minutes of walking. The apartment is convenient in terms of location, safe, amazing views all around and less touristy, so you feet at home, very comfortable and great outdoor sitting area. Fantastic customer service and prompt replies no matter what your needs are, the hosts are always going above and beyond. We stayed at the one bedroom apartment, which was very spacious, interior and decor is very tasteful and modern. The made sure the space was cleaned periodically which was awesome. We received tasty welcome treats and champagne to celebrate our upcoming wedding during our visit. We will absolutely stay here again when we return for our anniversary!

This is a perfectly located appartment on the coastal path, so the views are stunning. The accommodation is large, stylish and spotlessly clean. The host is friendly and welcoming and we were provided with lots of local knowledge that made our stay so special. We had use of a fabulous sun terrace with views that we will never forget. There is a shaded outside area for eating in and just watching the many tourists go by. We found this a most enjoyable pastime, and we chatted to people from the world over. A swimming pool is also available close by, local shops provide fresh everything and there are lots of high quality restaurants about. Santorini is a beautiful island, nowhere is too far away, (excellent public bus services)and our stay at Ikia Kriton was the best! I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation. The only negative about Santorini is that you will need strong legs as the volcanic slopes are steep and there are lots of steps to get to most places. But it is a price worth paying for magnificent views that the Caldera offers. Ikia Kriton in the north of the island is in the best part of the island for beauty and location, you will love it here.

This is probably the best experience I’ve ever had with a hotel. Eirini and Kriton were fantastic hosts, treating us like friends/family, going way above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. And the property itself was overwhelming, so beautiful. If you have an opportunity to stay here, you should! You won’t regret it! Imerovigli is the perfect location, not overly crowded like Oia and Fira, and spectacular views atop the clifffs. Easy to get to other parts of the island.

My wife and I stayed at the Ikia Kriton apartment for 3 nights. Eirini arranged pickup for us at the airport for 20 EUR and met us as our van arrived to help us make our way down to the apartment. The moment we walked over the caldera rim we wished we’d booked a longer stay. The views from this part of Imerovigli are absolutely stunning! The apartment was a short 5 min walk down from the street. With two flights of steps involved. Upon arrival at the property we were greeted with a gift basket including a very nice bottle of Santorini white wine. Eirini did a great job of giving us an overview of the property and things to do in the region. There are some great books on Santorini and a useful hiking map. Location: There are several restaurants and grocery stores within a 5 to 10 min walk. The trail to Skaros Rock starts about 100m away and makes a great short hike (30-45 min). We hiked in to Fira a couple of times and that took about 30 min and wasn’t too bad. The hike back is a bit more difficult due to the elevation difference but still manageable. However there is a bus from Fira to Oia that runs every 30 min which stops in Imerovigli that is a quick and cheap alternative. Amenities: The bathroom is very clean and spacious. The apartment had a very efficient and quiet air conditioning unit. The bed was super comfortable! There’s also a kitchenette with mini-fridge. We made eggs every morning for breakfast. We asked about laundry service and Eirini was able to arrange t

Wonderful place to stay in Santorini
Ikia Kriton was a wonderful experience in itself. The location is wonderful, with the most amazing views. We stayed in the ground floor space and literally woke up to the caldera every morning. Eirini is a great host and we were greeted in a wonderful way. She booked the transfer from the port for us and was always available if something was needed. She even made us cookies for our arrival along with a fruit basket. I highly recommend Ikia Kriton to anyone who wants to visit Santorini.
