#03 In My Greece Top 10 · 46 Suites & Villas On The Caldera
For first-timers, honeymooners, and 40+ couples who want the classic Santorini experience, this is the one.
This was the best hotel I saw for first-time visitors to Santorini, and I'd be hard pressed to recommend any other hotel first if someone specifically wants the classic caldera-luxury experience.
Recently completely renovated, it blew me away everywhere I looked: the quality of the finishes, the privacy — a genuine rarity on Santorini — the private water features, and the landscaping. It sits higher on the Caldera than most, which means more privacy, and every room has coverings above its outdoor spaces.
There are 46 total suites and villas, including private two- and three-bedroom pool villas — something you almost never find in Oia or Imerovigli. Note the 13+ age requirement; families should look at sister property Canaves Epitome instead.


Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Canaves Oia Suites personally. As a Fora advisor with a preferred partnership at Canaves, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a €100 hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
I've personally toured every corner of Canaves Oia Suites. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
