[Ed. Note: Hotel Maven MontrealCanajan alerted us to a place to avoid in Santorini. As always, this is just one person's experience.]
We stayed at several hotels on Santorini and nearby Paros Island, and have nice things to say about all of them except this one: Volcano Villas - Don't stay there.

A reader asked us what we knew about two hotels in Satorini: Katikies and Kirini. So we took a look.
The Kirini Hotel is perched on a cliff overlooking the volcano, like most hotels in Santorini.
The honeymoon suite at Kirini is a complete luxe Greek apartment featuring a bedroom, living room, dining room, and a private veranda with an open air Jacuzzi.
The closest village to Kirini hotel is Oia, which, as we said, is full of plenty of shopping, food and booze.
As usual, if you have more to say about Kirini hotel, let it all out in the comments section below.
Note that most hotels in Greece quote prices per room, not per person.

A reader asked us what we knew about two hotels in Satorini: Katikies and Kirini. So we took a look.
Most hotels on Santorini are whitewashed cliff houses overlooking the volcano and the sea--so it is kinda hard to go wrong.
The Katikies Hotel is a seaside boutique with 21 rooms, all peppered with antique furnishings, and some with their own private balconies.
The hotel is not within walking distance to Thira, Santorini's major town, however, the village of Oia is just a quick walk away, and there are plenty of jewelry shops and local restaurants there for you to breeze in and out of. Oh, and we heard that sunsets watchers in Oia sometimes break into spontaneous applause once the sun goes down.
In any event, Katikies Hotel no doubt caters more toward the honeymooner, or couple-in-love, than to a family of four.
