Marianna Hotel
Perissa - Santorini

The hotel far exceeded our initially modest expectations about its comfort given its very reasonable pricing. At check-in the owners offered us fresh water and orange juices, which was nice as were exhausted by a long trip on a ferry and driving from the port. The rooms and their balconies were not too small, well-kept and nicely-colored. The beds were comfortable enough while the bed linen and towels were dry and clean. The air conditioning and the hair dryer worked well. I guess there was a small fridge but we didn’t use it. A few wardrobes and shelves were useful. The breakfast was diverse enough (even fried eggs with sausages). There is a nice open air swimming pool, not too small, with a small bar and a view of the sea, but we didn’t use it as a precaution against the coronavirus. The main advantage to us was its proximity (a maximum of ten minutes walk) to the Perissa beach with its beautiful and pleasant black sand. Quite long, it has plenty of both the areas shallow enough for the small children and the ones deep enough for good swimmers. There are many beach sun beds with umbrellas, a bar with cold drinks for acceptable prices, a lifeguard, a few shops selling beach-related items, snacks and refreshing drinks. The water in mid-July was warm enough even at 10:30 in the morning. The hotel owners do a great job with making guests comfortable while maintaining their reasonable safety protocols for the current health situation. You should be aware that the place is quite far from the main tourist hotspots of the islands. We rented a car and the hotel has was a spacious parking. It is about 20 minutes drive from the ferry port and the airport, 30 minutes from Thira and 45-50 minutes from Oia. I believe there is a developed bus network, lots of taxis and small car rentals all around, also in five minutes walk down to the beach.

Size of pool. Plenty of sunbeds. Cheerful and courteous, helpful staff. Breakfast traditional Greek style with hot and cold options. Many repeat customers year on year. Quiet venue up the hill from the beachfront with views across the sea and hills in the background that lead to Ancient Thera and Kamari on the other side. Hotel is excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
