Hotel Matina While our crew was touring and filming on the stunning Greek island of Santorini, 
we discovered that the cliffs and the main village of Fira were not all
the island offered....Yes, the area is beautifully and absolutely
breath-taking and the landscape is definitely the results of a very angry
volcano, no other force on earth could create this very unique island, but
it is quite diverse as we soon discovered.
While filming on and around the sandy beach of Kamari village we
soon begin to appreciate this more quieter side of the island. We had
stayed at beautiful hotels scattered in the islands many quaint and
stunning villages, most located on the upper rim, and as we explored the
lower side of the island we discovered a new Santorini and a solitude only
offered in Kamari with its astounding beach and excellent shops,
restaurants, sidewalk cafes, bars, lounges and gift shops. We researched
the many hotels in the area and decided to stay at the Matina. It was only
a short walk from the beach and as it was in a quieter area, we could not
only As we walked toward the hotel's entrance we were drawn immediately to
the large inviting pool, where we manage to linger and sip some ice cold
drinks from the fully stocked bar only a few feet away. It didn't take us
long to appreciate the hotel's style and the many apparent amenities it
offered. After some time, we proceeded to the lobby. The interior of the hotel was cool and the charming lady that greeted
us was warm. Her name was Vasso and her family owns and operates this fine
hotel. Their very affordable rates were pleasing and as Vasso showed us to
our rooms we were quite appreciative of their apparent comfort and open
floor space. I totally detest a crowded room. She opened the large drapes
and flooded the room with natural light and exposed a full view of the
massive pool directly below. We would definitely remain here for the
duration of our tour before starting our next adventure through the
unforgettable Greek Islands.. We totally enjoyed our stay at this quaint, affordable hotel. The owner and their staff were pleasant, catering and knowledgeable about the island and offered the best tours at affordable prices. If you have a dream, a vision or just feel the absolute need to visit the most stunning places on earth this is a good as place to start as anywhere. It is the island of mesmerizing sunsets, romance, intrigue, sun blessed beaches, great shopping and visual amazement. When you arrive do yourselves another favor...make your visit truly rewarding and trouble free...stay a few days at the Matina Hotel and be spoilt with traditional Greek hospitality and be treated like family.
