What does Santorini cost?
Santorini is significantly more expensive than the Greek mainland or Crete — comparable to Mykonos and about 30–50% above the Greek average. Prices vary greatly depending on location: A caldera hotel in Oia costs 3-5 times as much as a comparable room on the east side of the island. The high season (July/August) is another 50–100% more expensive than May or October.
