A classic Santorini hotel in Fira Town with a beautiful caldera-view terrace and pool, traditional cave-room architecture, and an excellent central location for exploring the island. More affordable than Oia's most exclusive properties while still offering iconic caldera views.
Hotel Atlantis occupies a prominent position in the centre of Fira, the capital of Santorini, on the western caldera rim of this volcanic island in the South Aegean region of Greece. The hotel's white marble façade, with its emblematic arched colonnade and traditional Cycladic detailing, is a recognisable feature of Fira's skyline, set adjacent to the town's main Orthodox Cathedral and within a two-minute walk of Fira's central square. Unlike many caldera properties, Hotel Atlantis benefits from direct car access — a practical advantage in a location where most cliff-edge hotels require guests to navigate steep staircases or use the cable car from the old port.
The hotel's 25 guestrooms incorporate minimalist décor with bespoke furniture and fine fabrics, drawing on classical Cycladic architecture updated with contemporary interiors. All rooms include flat-screen LED televisions, air conditioning, central heating, and en-suite bathrooms with branded bath products and hairdryers. The majority of rooms offer private balconies or large windows, most of which face the caldera, the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni, and the Aegean Sea.
The centrepiece outdoor amenity is a freshwater oblong pool — approximately four by thirteen metres — flanked by stone columns and offering uninterrupted caldera and volcano views. A Jacuzzi section forms part of the pool structure, and sun loungers with cocktail service are available throughout the operating season from mid-May to late October. A lounge bar and daily buffet breakfast service round out the food and beverage offering.
Front-desk concierge services operate around the clock, covering restaurant reservations, vehicle hire, boat excursion bookings, and detailed island orientation. Additional services include luggage storage, express checkout, room service, daily maid service, laundry, and a business centre. The cable car to Santorini's old port — departure point for caldera boat tours — is a short walk from the hotel, and Fira's commercial centre, restaurants, and the island's Archaeological Museum are all within a five-minute walk. Oia, Santorini's most photographed village, is approximately twelve kilometres north by road.
Hotel Atlantis operates seasonally from May to late October, in line with Santorini's tourism calendar.

Accessibility
