Hotel El Greco, Santorini

Our hotel on Santorini was beautiful and as good as the professional photos on the hotel website.  When we stopped n front of the front door, we all had another OMG moment taking in the view in front of the hotel. Below is a sample of what we saw out the front every day.

The lobby and internal areas were beautiful as well.  There were three different large pools each in a different section of the grounds.  Surrounding each pool was a collection of rooms.  Our room was around the second pool where the restaurant and bar were also located.  Below are a few photos of the grounds.

The rooms were very stark but very typical if what you would expect of a Mediterranean room.  The walls were cream colored with no wall decoration but one painting (mural actually) over the bed.  The windows and doors were wooden and opened horizontally into the room to bring in air.  No screens on the windows and none needed as we never saw a fly or bug.  The evening air was really nice and we slept with the windows open each night.  It felt great!

The hotel was great and we enjoyed it.  Our only complaints were that our room was located next to the kitchen, which was a bit noisy late evening and early morning, and the wifi was very slow.  Otherwise it was great.  The pools were beautiful, but we only spent a couple of hours laying around them as we had too much to see.  The water temp in the pools was very brisk as they fill them often from the desalinated water source.  The water never has time to really warm.  But we only used them once.
