Santorini is increasingly being taken over by bigger hotel/suite businesses, which is fine, if that kind of (expensive) experience is ehat you want. Brigas Villas provide a much more personal and old-school stay in Firostefani (Thira) for MUCH better value. Unbelievably gorgeous vistas from your own private patio, an adorable, authentic cave suite, kitchenette if you want it (and we did, for snacks and morning coffees...), and the chance to chat with Briga and her pup on their daily walks. Very convenient location, great airport connections, etc. But mostly, a warm authentic place to make your own while you take in the beauty of the caldera at very reasonable rates.
