Where White-Washed Villas Meet Cobalt Blue Seas
There’s no question as to why Santorini is a must for travelers and adventurers alike. The sky and sea are literally the limit to opportunities to be had on this romantic island. Santorini’s white-washed Cycladic houses will take your breath away, and the food is a whole different story. Santorini’s capital, Fira, offers some of the best views you’ll find on the whole island. With everything ranging from high-class bars to bougainvillea draped coffee shops, boring has no place in Santorini. With so many fun things to do and see, you’ll certainly get tired and will be looking for a place to stay that’s just as exciting. Look no further than Aria Suites, as they offer just about as much as a gorgeous 5-star Cycladic hotel in Santorini could. After just one look at Aria Suites, you’ll be hooked.

The sofa also sleeps one full-sized adult, so a total of three adults can share this suite. One of many cool-factors that Aria Suites offers is their A-La-carte American Champagne breakfast served from your own balcony.

The top of the line of all Aria Suites is the Carmen. With two bedrooms both with king size beds, the Carmen suite offers the maximum space.

You’ll find luxury cotton-satin bed linens, Korres bathroom amenities, bathrobes and slippers, a fully stocked mini-bar, fridge, and countless others. One small touch that Aria Suites added that made all the difference was the completely sea-blue bathroom. While all of the other suites feature vibrant tones, the Carmen Suites’ bathroom really stands out.

A-La-carte American Champagne Breakfast
I’m sure that we would all prefer having breakfast served to us, instead of making it ourselves (or at least the thought of it).

What Travelers Are Saying About Astra Suites
Being awarded several certificates of excellence, Aria Suites certainly deserves their spot in the top 5 hotels in Fira. One satisfied customer said, “Our room suite was very clean and comfortable. The staff of the Aria suites could not have been more gracious and accommodating. The view from the pool deck is stunning and we loved watching the sunset there every night. This was our favorite hotel in Greece and possibly the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. We cannot say enough good things about it – it was perfection!”
Another guest who visited recently brought light to both positives and negatives. “We loved our stay at Aria Suites. We had a spacious two bedroom suite that was simply yet tastefully decorated although the bathroom was on the small side with only a shower. Our room opened up to a terrace next to the swimming pool with a beautiful view. Every morning the staff brought breakfast to our terrace and we thoroughly enjoyed starting the day in such a relaxing and serene way. There is no restaurant although there is a bar at the pool that serves some light food. The staff is incredible. They arranged everything for our transportation, excursions and dinner reservations.”
While pictures surely don’t do Aria Suites justice, you’ll have to check it out yourself to see why guests love this hotel.
