Do not expect a whole lot of privacy in Santorini but saying that our hotel was quite good and we received an upgrade on our arrival which made our stay a whole lot more comfortable. Hotel staff were more than helpful, organising trips etc, and their efforts made our stay more enjoyable. The west side of the island is expensive, very expensive, the east side better value for money but views etc not so beautiful. Santorini is a fabulous, beautiful island but your bank balance is going to take a hit.
