My wife and I spent three days of our honeymoon at the Keti. It wouldn't be fair to judge the place not taking into account where the hotel is located. Santorini stands on the slopes of a sunken volcano. To one side, the island descends uneventfully to volcanic pebble beaches. To the other side the Island falls abruptly into the sea, in what is called the caldera side. The sights on this side are simply breathtaking. Just over the edge of this cliff stands Fira. As the island itself the city can be divided into two. On side: fairly equipped, buzzing with activity, services and roads giving a good opportunity to get everywhere you want. Given on this side the city grows steadily and quite plain, there aren't great views, just some charming but overcrowded –at least in summer- streets. On the other side the city falls directly into the sea: a perfect mix of cliffs and picturesque pastel colored houses. Stairs and narrow alleys connect this part of the city. Just on this side, over one of the edges, opening to an incredibly view of the entire city and the caldera stands the Keti.
Once you make your way through the alleys and down the stairs you'll find a neatly equipped room opened onto a shared balcony with a dazzling view of the caldera. While quite simple, the room was cozy and impeccably clean. Yiannis, the manager, deserves a few words for himself: helpful and friendly. We went through some trouble with our airline and our luggage. Over the time we spent there Yiannis helped us sorting things out and allowing us to enjoy our stay.
Keti is definitely a great deal, I'm sure it probably has the best caldera view in Fira and the rooms are affordable and nice. The steps are steep, but I can't complain, the Greek food is so good that we found this the best way to burn some extra calories.
What can we say….. we absolutely enjoyed our stay at Keti.
