Alexandra

Alexandra Hotel is an apartment hotel in the northern edge of Kamari, a town on the east coast of the Greek island of Santorini. The family-run hotel is a short stroll from the volcanic black sands of Kamari Beach, where you can sunbathe or swim in the Aegean Sea. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace where you can relax with a drink from the pool bar, which is open during the summer months (May to October). It's a short walk to the centre of Kamari, where there are many bars, restaurants and nightclubs to choose from. Here, you can also admire local artwork at the Gabbiano Nero gallery just off the beach, and learn how to make hand-made sculptures. The Greek island of Santorini is popular for its various vineyards and wineries. There are several within driving distance of Alexandra Hotel that do tours and tastings. If you want to learn about the area's rich past, you can take a short drive south up Messa Vouno mountain to the ruins of Ancient Thera. You can explore this sprawling archaeological treasure at your own pace, walking up the main road and seeing what's left of the theatres and temples built by the Dorians, which fell to the Roman and Byzantine empires.

Alexandra Hotel is 100m from Kamari Beach and 1km from Kamari's square. Tucked away on the north west coast, and a 20km drive from the hotel, is the town of Oia, where many people go to watch the iconic sunsets in Santorini. There are steps leading down from the town to the secluded Amoudi Bay, which is sheltered by rocky formations. If you fancy taking in the island views, you can travel to the town of Imerovigli and walk up the stepped path to Skaros Rock, which has the remains of a 15th-century fortress at its rocky peak.

The buffet restaurant at Alexandra Hotel is open for breakfast. The pool bar serves a range of local and international drinks and is open until late. If you walk along the beach, you'll find a selection of bars and restaurants where you can have a meal while enjoying the sea view.

Alexandra Hotel is steps away from the volcanic black sand of Kamari Beach, where children can play, build sandcastles or go for a paddle.

The rooms at Alexandra Hotel are bright and airy. They all come with air conditioning, satellite TV, a mini fridge freezer and a balcony or terrace.
