The best bartender on the island

31 Aug 2025
My wife and I came for a cocktail by the pool of Istoria, and ended up staying the afternoon drinking and conversing with Stelios, the great bartender of Istoria. Simply by talking he was able to know which drinks were made for us. I want to come back to Istoria just to catch up with Stelios and drink until sunset. He made our stay remarkable. We wish you all the best. Laura (mamacita) & Brian

Best Hotel Stay I’ve Ever Had

30 Sep 2025
Best experience I’ve had staying at a hotel, period. The staff was incredibly kind, generous, and very accommodating. After spending time in Oia and Fira, I would not stay anywhere else in Santorini except Istoria. Exceptional all around.

Best Hotel in Santorini

30 Sep 2025
My wife and I shared three incredible days at the Istoria Hotel on Santorini in September 2025. There is a lot of hype about Oia and Fira but you can take a car/taxi to visit those places which we found to be very touristy and crowded. The Istoria Hotel is in a much more peaceful location and Perivolos Beach is literally steps away (the pool is even closer if that's your preference). If you are looking for a relaxing place at a hotel that will assist you with anything you need, the Istoria Hotel is the place for you. The room had all the amenities we needed. The staff is what stands out the most. They were not only accommodating but we really did feel like family by the time we left. There were plenty of hugs on the last day. From the front desk, to the dining, to the bar - all the staff were amazing. With only 12 rooms, there is plenty of time for them to pamper you with attention. Radula and the rest of the wait staff really stood out for their friendliness and service. Stelios at the bar was also a standout for his friendly banter and excellent drinks. He also gave us an excellent dinner recommendation - Rosemary in Pyrgos. Wonderful sunset without all the people in Oia! We can't say enough about all of them - we wanted to stay another week! We would recommend staying here and doing day trips to other places around the island. We stayed for three days and had no problem getting to them all but had nice quiet relaxation when we were at the hotel.

Absolutely incredible

30 Sep 2025
Honestly, the most incredible place. The staff are incredible - they can’t do enough for you. The room was beyond perfect, the facilities are stunning, the location is perfect and the food was incredible. 10 out of 10 and can’t wait to go again!

Tripadvisor Overview

At the sublime junction where the black volcanic sand of Perivolos Beach meets the midnight blue waters of the Aegean Sea, one finds Istoria, a 12-suite retreat, where a unique blend of classic and contemporary aesthetics animates a next-generation social hub, while embracing all the needs of modern and sophisticated travelers, for an experience that is wholly and authentically Greek. As if sculpted from the hand of some chthonic deity and bathed in bright Cycladic sunshine, Istoria’s 12 idyllic suites are impressively arched towards the privacy of verdant terraces, crowned, in most cases, with private outdoor hot tubs or pools, offering an additional layer of refuge to this resplendent haven.
