Cave hotels in Santorini are basically hotels that are transformed old traditional Santorini houses carved on the volcanic rock of the island. Most of these hotels are located in Oia, in Imerovigli, and the capital of Santorini, Fira. They are actually very similar to the cave hotels in Cappadocia but quite different to the cave hotels in Mykonos, as these one are more designed than naturally built, like the ones in Santorini.

WHERE TO STAY IN SANTORINI
You are probably already aware that the famous views of Santorini overlooking the famous sunset and the volcano do not come at low prices. If you cannot afford any of these, you should look at the beach hotels of Santorini, but if you can afford those stunning views, I highly recommend staying in Imerovigli instead of in Oia.
The best area to stay in Santorini is the west coast side which has the best uninterrupted world-famous views of the volcano, the caldera, and the incredible sunsets.
CONCLUSION
I truly believe that by staying in a cave hotel in Santorini you will be experiencing one of the most amazing accommodations in your life. These are not just some cave hotels carved on the cliffside volcanic rocks with spectacular views of the caldera. These are luxury boutique hotels with excellent service and overall great attentive staff. It also goes without saying that these are some of the most romantic hotels in Santorini and can be incredible choices for a honeymoon in Santorini.
