Location
Xenodocheio Bampis is in Karterados, a picturesque village in Santorini just outside Fira, with low white houses and quieter streets than those along the caldera. The area suits you if you want to stay in a village with a swimming pool and parking, and head to the island’s capital for a walk and a meal.
In Fira, the narrow lanes lead down towards the caldera, with views of the volcanic islet and the sea; in the evening, they fill with cafés, bars and tavernas. It’s worth visiting the Museum of Prehistoric Thera and the Archaeological Museum of Thera, which house finds from Akrotiri and Ancient Thera. The Central Bus Station is 1.4 km away, with buses to Oia and to beaches with black volcanic sand, such as Monolithos and Perissa. The airport is 2.4 km away, and the reception can arrange car hire. Exo Gialos Beach is 2.6 km away.
The best time for beaches and excursions is from May to October. The meltemi often blows in July and August, when the island is busy, while in September the sea is still warm. For a day in Santorini, spend the morning in Fira’s museums, the afternoon at the beach and watch the sunset in Oia, travelling by bus or by car arranged by the reception. Out of season, Karterados becomes very quiet, and the museums are a good reason to head out for a walk.
