There’s no metaphor here. On the Rocks is literally on the rocks. Like the rest of the tiny village of Imerovigli, this elegant hotel balances atop the cliffs that overlook the famous caldera of Santorini. The only danger is in trying to decide when to move the umbrella shielding your deck chair or whether to carry a light cardigan to dinner. Beauty without pretense reigns, as it has for millennia. Even Herodotus thought so: in his histories, he referred to the island as “the Fairest One.”
The hotel wisely lets the rocky landscape and crystalline seascape dominate. The whitewashed exterior reflects the Mediterranean sunshine and sets off the shifting blues of the horizon. This traditional style of understatement continues into the interior’s décor, where only an occasional spiky fern or muted checkered pillow breaks up the pristine white. Some rooms offer private sitting areas or dip pools. Balconies and multileveled terraces ensure tranquil views from almost everywhere.
Couples come to the volcanic islands of Greece in search of stunning vistas and charming comfort. Both desires will be more than satisfied by these quiet accommodations. For those in search of more stimulation, nearby Fira, the island’s little capital, offers bars and nightclubs, in addition to monasteries, museums full of ancient artifacts, and the well-known beaches of unusual black sand. For most guests, however, watching the lapping Aegean 200 meters below or the renowned, intensely chromatic sunsets streak across the horizon will probably provide exactly enough activity.
How to get there:
From Santorini Airport, 9.7 km - approximately 15 mins.
