Would possibly also consider Megalochori at a push.
Any recommendations? I bias towards modern rather than traditional generally.
Grace Santorini looks tempting but frankly their pricing is probably a killer unless someone tells me it's a must stay, they still seem to want >EUR1k per night for a basic room despite the fact that hotels on the island are half empty at best and it just doesn't seem worth it when I'm going to try to spend not too much time at the hotel. That probably leaves me with a few choices like Chromata and the new Katikies Garden. Cavo Tagoo and the Andronis Wellness Concept look nice but neither are opening in time. Also like the look of the new ISTORIA Design Hotel but the location is totally wrong. Any others I should consider?
I can't help you since I haven't been to Santorini yet, but I'm going end of August. Will start at Cavo Tagoo, followed up by Grace Santorini and will probably end our stay at Andronis Luxury Suites.
Interested to hear what you decide on and how your experience was! Enjoy Santorini, it will be the only time you get to experience the island as calm as it is right now!
One more thing: I have friends who stayed at Cavo Tagoo two weeks ago, so you might want to reconsider that since the hotel is already open.
