The cleanliness of that room puts a lot of UK hotels to shame. How lovely.
All that money you saved over the previous "premium" hotel. That buys you amazing Greek food in little family-run tavernas. And still lots of money to spare for things like boat trips. And money to take home. Both are amazing experiences, but this is the one for me.
I agree
Looks great doesn't it? 😁
Totally agree
This was cute ❤
I thought the room was perfect. It’s got a nice bed, and a decent bathroom, and it’s not like you’ll be staying in it all day. With all the extra money you’ll have, you’ll be able to do so many other exciting things too. ☀️
Taking prices completely out of the equation, I love my Greek holidays for their Greekness. This one just feels way more authentic to me and I’d feel way more comfortable there. By and large, Greek people are highly hospitable and you will have a lovely time in little hotels/apartments complexes like this… and dining in small Greek Tavernas is the real Greek dining experience.
love that .... "their Greekness"
@@WalkWithMeTimthanks for replying, love your channel.
It’s the best way I can describe it. I’ve been holidaying in Greece most of my life… when I was a young child, we did the accommodation as basic/cheap as we could, and instead hired cars and explored whichever island we were visiting, my grandad knows a lot about Greek culture and history and even speaks Greek so he made everything fascinating and we were made welcome everywhere we went, and the genuine Greek cuisine turned me into a foodie for life.
I went to an exclusive hotel/resort in Crete in 2019 and as beautiful as it was, it just felt a little sterile and lacked authenticity… just down the road was a small apartment block where I’ve stayed three times, the owner is slightly shouty and unhinged, but actually a really lovely guy… I just wanted to be there.
PS, if you’re ever in Birmingham, and you like Greek food, do try the Santorini Greek restaurant, had lunch with my daughter earlier and it’s the most authentic Greek food I’ve tried outside of Greece, and I cook Greek food myself.
That's exactly what I thought. As lovely as the expensive place was, I'd have been uncomfortable there and I'd be way more at home in this bijou cheaper place... Plus it was great! You'd have to tear me away from that little pool bar 😂
This is fabulous and it's more how I have travelled over the years in Greece! ❤
This was our exact room at Philoxenia in 2017! Shower was a bit dodgy, water went everywhere but we absolutely loved this spot, we stayed for 10 nights here and it felt like a family home. We were treated as family. Pool area looks amazing at night how it’s all lit up! The bed looks like it’s been replaced, the one we had was very “firm”. The area was ok, the bakery and mini mart basically outside the door and can walk everywhere you need to in Perissa from there! I’m so happy you liked it, it truly is a family run business and supporting these places is crucial.
Hi . Just to clarify the name of the hotel is named PHILOXENA?
Even if I was rich, prefer these type of places, you see the real Greece. Όμορφη Σαντορίνη ❤️🇬🇷
Me too so nice & feel at home in nice cosy small resorts .
100%
"Even if I was rich" hahaha you have no idea how many times I have heard or seen people write that. We'll get rich and prove it.
I don't think there's much chance at all of seeing the real Greece anywhere in Santorini.
@@charlesjay8818😀😀😀
The room was lovely and clean. That kitchenette was a nice little touch. I'd stay there in a heartbeat!
I totally agree!
Do you know what, for such an expensive island, you can’t complain about that hotel. I’m mean it was actually really nice.. and it felt genuine unlike the experience hotel, which just felt like everything was on show. If I was holiday by myself this would be perfect as I felt you could mix with other people easily, even the owner showing you to the room was chatting to you whilst taking you to your room😊
This room looks amazing for the money considering it’s Santorini. I would have no complaints. What a bargain 😍😊
This beautiful little hotel was giving me real “Mamma Mia” vibes .. I was half expecting Meryl Streep to greet you at reception .. much prefer this location for a holiday as it felt more Greek .. and what amazing views of the mountains from those stairs
Hi Tim, What a lovely gem of a hotel at a fantastic price! £60.90 a night compared to €1,500 (£1,294) a night in the cave hotel. You could stay for 7 nights in Santorini for around £726 including flights and have £568 left over from the cost of one night at the cave hotel. That would pay for some great food and drinks during your stay in Santorini. However good the cave hotel seemed I know which option I would go for. 😁
Totally agree
This hotel was a gem and to me the real reason you go to Greece, family run and owned and. Wonderful room to stay.
It’s clean, quiet and looked amazing. What more could you want.
Regarding the shower, very common in Greece and I was told that it’s there for a very good reason. I don’t know if it was true, but did make sense.
Most hot water in Greece is heated in tanks on the hotel roof, so no sun, no hot water.
As the tanks do take time to heat up and there are a good number of rooms and people.
Having a normal shower, people could just stand under neath it and drain all the hot water, so no one else gets a hot or warm shower. Place the shower where it is, your in and out much quicker, using less water, less waste of water and everyone should be able to get a warm shower.
Very clever and good idea 😊
Double beds are also pretty much a no in family run hotels.
If you think about it logical.
The hotel can change on how they sell the room with out doing anything.
2 singles, 1 double (Beds pushed together), 1 twin,
The room is adaptable to everything with no extra cost.
Have to think outside the box for these type of hotels to keep going.
Really nice vibes and decor on this one. You don't have a private pool but on the other hand the beach is right there, you don't need to go down endless stairs to reach it. Very cool to see what you can get in Santorini on both ends of the price range.
Wow, I was not expecting it to be that cheap, I had predicted about £110, that was a bargain that's for sure. Nice find, well done Tim 👏
Think I prefer this hotel than the really expensive one you did in Santorini. I love how compact and cosy it is and for the price you can't really argue with that 👍
And as long as its clean, what more do you expect. Brilliant
Much nicer than I thought it would be. I'd happily stay there!
Hi Tim. It's like most people say, a little gem of a hotel at a fantastic price. The initial view after you parked the car was a bit iffy but the pool and bar area looks superb. The room was decent too with the nice shared balcony. Love it. Immaculately shot video especially so since you were clearly suffering in the heat! 🥵Hopefully more of the Greek Islands in future vids.
I know stupid walking around in a black t-shirt in 36oc
That cheap hotel looked lovely tim,far more homely than the posh place.
We are just back from Kos and we hadn't been in Greece for a good ten years. Our first impression of our accommodation was how basic it was but really it had everything we needed and was family run by lovely people. We felt it was the real Greece. This place you stayed at was really quaint and pretty quirky. I loved it.
Love kos
I’ve jus come back from kos Kardemena. Was it sunny view hotel by any chance ?
Loved this hotel so beautiful just my type of place .The patio is beautiful outside your room ,Tim. Loved the blog was a pleasure .❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow I am so impressed with the price. That little hotel is right up my street. I love the big resorts but in turn love finding little gems like this. 👌
I totally agree!
Certainly is a "don't judge a book..." kind of place. Pulling up to a parking spot littered with Pepsi cans and trash, and looking at the outside facade screams of "dodgy establishment", but the inside is really quite pleasant. Love the huge pine trees over the pool and fountain area, and for 60 pounds a night, that 's quite a deal!
I've always been a fan of smaller (preferably family run) hotels, anyway, so it looks like someplace I'd consider booking if I ever decide to do Greece.
Thanks, Tim. LIKED 👍 as always! All the best to Gabby and Casper!
Agree .. thank you
Tim, I've seen many of the hotels you stayed at all over the world and this hotel in Santorini looks like the best deal for me. It has everything and for an incredibly inexpensive price. After watching this, I plan on staying there in the near future. Thanks, Tim!!!
That Looks like a taste of the real Greece. Accommodation seemed really clean and comfortable. It’s the sort of place that would suit me as I could really relax in the environment of the place. The price was really good Thank You Tim
Wow what a bargain & looks great for the price.Thanks Tim 😎
I've just gotten back from Santorini (first visit) and stayed in Perissa. I loved it. Yes, I did go to a lot of the other places, including Oia and Fira etc, but Oia for me was too touristy, too polished, and of course, teaming with people. Perissa, for me, was perfect!!!
That's a lovely place and very cosy and quirky great find well done.
Loved it Tim,it looks very very nice,thankyou for the video.
What a lovely little find that place is looks amazing
thankyou another fab blog and that cheap hotel looks wonderful and nice and clean to plus area within the hotel to looks just loverly.😊
Great little place. Will put it on my list for the future....thanks for the info!
Wow Tim for just over £60 a night in Santorini this extremely cute almost Apartment style Hotel is quaint & charming I found!
As you said Tim the area around it doesn't look maybe posh but it certainly looks & feels like authentic Santorini.
Which some Holiday Destinations don't feel like traditional they feel made up for Tourists with little authenticity & real charm.
The Pool was cosy like you said also pretty 😍
The whole Villa was very lovely & charming, the Palm Trees 🌴
Your room was also very nice the beds push together could be a problem for couples but for singles it's no problem.
It was minimalistic but definitely as you say Tim clean & fresh.
I liked the picture on the wall & the Light Shade on the main light in your room looked very Spanish.
The kitchenette was very basic the Coca Cola Cup with Cutlery was cute & made me smile!
Rather a cheap but nice touch.
The Mugs with Santorini on were also a personal touch as you say you don't know where they have come from or who has drunk from them but as you said Tim your not going to be spending a lot of time drinking Tea in your room in Santorini!
Overall very cheerful touches.
The Bathroom Moon Light effect was fabulous!
Definitely the most defining feature of your room.
I liked the Bathroom too, the shower made me laugh 😂it was even too low for me!!!
And I have my 🚿 shower down low being only 4ft 10.
Complementary shampoos was another good touch.
Glad the bed was comfy & clean!
Your room had everything that is needed & little cute touches.
The shared balcony was a lovely feature & totally unexpected for £60😮
And what a view overlooking the pool!
With Cute Table & Chairs & Sun all afternoon!
I love the deep pink flowers 🌺 that seem to be a feature in Santorini.
What beautiful Mountains & the White Buildings all around, I really love it💕
The white fountain & all the little private balconies downstairs.
I would like the ground floor rooms with those private balconies by the White Fountain for sure!
Or your room on the Terrace I would like too with all that afternoon sun ☀️
Breakfast area was lovely & a lovely feel around the whole place! I think the area around would be interesting to check out to see how many Bars Restaurants & Shops there are nearby & is there a Beach⛱️?
But for £60 a night if someone has a Car it doesn't matter if you need to go a bit further a field.
Thanks Tim for showing such a lovely little gem of Santorini 🌄🌅..
yes I guess you have to sacrifice location lol
@@WalkWithMeTim I'd definitely be interested to see all of Santorini if I could afford it Tim.
It looks absolutely adorable 🤩 with the Sunshine ☀️ the lovely White Buildings & the views!
I bet you had fun Tim looking for the cheapest hotel online in Santorini 😀
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work!
Well worth the money looks lovely well done Tim for finding 😊
great video tim a nice cosy hotel for that price in santorini is a steal. You get to see the traditional and homely welcoming side of greek life at these small family run hotels. keep up great work
that looks like a wonderful little hotel,and a great find,thanks for showing us around,
Loved this little hotel Tim ..so homely& delightful with the bougainvillea everywhere & those huge pines! Utterly charming & so cheap!
Thanks for showing that super value accommodation Tim. Another great video....as usual.
My pleasure!
Hi Tim Wow this is a little gem. Lovely and chilled very quaint great price. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
I thought the hotel was really charming, I think sitting by the pool with a drink would be very enjoyable, and seems like everything is just a short walk away. I always thought that if I ever had the funds to go to Greece I`d want to stay in a cave hotel on the caldera, but having seen videos of the town up there and how crazy busy it gets I kind of think I`d prefer the inexpensive place.Great to see the contrast between the two hotels though.
Lovely Tim. Clean. Car park needed a sweep though 😊
Loved that little room you had il definitely look into this next year
Thank you for this wonderful post! You have my full support.
Wow! Gorgeous quaint and rustic hotel. Great video
Many thanks!
It was a very good travel day blog today of you chilling out and staying in the cheapest room in Santorini Greece for the holiday vibes tim
Fantastic Tim. What a beautiful place. I'd definitely stay there. Great vlog. Thank you for showing us this little gem 😎👊
My pleasure
Seems to me that this is the perfect option for getting out and about and exploring the island. That premium hotel, albeit lovely, would make me want to stay on site more to get max value. Each to their own I guess. But I'd be more than happy with this option. Great video Tim. Keep it up. 😊
Great video, we've just returned from a family holiday for 2 weeks in Gran Canaria (Puerto Rico) and it was your visit Gran Canaria video that inspired us to book it. We loved it.
Love watching your videos and hopefully can get some good pointers on where to book next year. Keep up the great work 👍
Wow brilliant matt
Beautiful! Thank you 😊
Loving the videos , We are off on our first holiday abroad in 4 years ,can't wait
Another great video Tim and what a cute little hotel that looked! I am on countdown to my holiday to Porto in 5 weeks and your videos are really helping me to get in the mood! 😃
Have fun!
It's lovely! So comfortable and charming.
The hotel was beautiful and great value. Thanks, Tim.
Great video mate. I watched this with the wife and we both agreed that this feels more like the real Greece than the expensive place you stayed at.
Very true!
What a lovely hotel looks really chilled❤
Great video and tips for many people, when I was around 22 I stayed in Greece and Italy in many of these type of hotels, what a blessing that was! It is all about the company! You can enjoy so much more on your own!!!! Even the foods the island has to offer. Go for it.
Santorini is great for honeymoons, but for usual family vacation too
I’d just love to stay there! Absolutely charming!
That is the type of place i always stop in on my trips to Greece and have met some wonderful people you were lucky to have a pool as well in such a small hotel
Great video chap. Makes me want to go there. That little place was lovely. Much much preferred it to the expensive place. Quainter, more chilled and relaxed, unpretentious and I'd go there, but not the expensive one, I'd feel out of place there.
Keep up the good work fella!
wow, that looks great indeed! thank you for finding this.
You bet!
Another great Vlog Tim, and yes i've done Santorini in that same area as you Kamari, it has a lovely black sand beach, many restaurants & a decent public bus route, so you can visit the island and not spend too much, you always make us viewers feel like we're there with you, i look forward to the next one, all the best.
Thanks
Great video, thank you Tim
Very welcome
I really enjoy watching you try the various options, expensive V budget and find you are very balanced in your opinions. I am surprised you have not been snapped up by TV company as your presenting style is excellent.
Thanks so much!
What a great find! A nice place, clean, well appointed, traditional looking - what's not to like? I wouldn't mind staying there, especially at that price! And you probably get more of a down to earth, friendliy service. Cheers, Tim!
Great video , lovely traditional hotel great price too 😎👍
Honestly Tim, even though the other place was incredible, I'd feel much more at home here 😅 Plus it feels more Greek! Never been to Santorini but I'm really tempted now!
Wait till u see my video tour lol
Wow thank you for posting this I actually might be able to visit at that price looks adorable
Blimey that’s incredible value and the accommodation is definitely somewhere you’d be happy staying
This is like a fancy version of the places we used to stay in Greece when I was a kid. Love it 💜
Hi Tim another excellent video and that is a great price for a desired pricey Greek Island.
Absolutely loved this little gem of a hotel, definitely value for money and could just relax on the balcony
Thanks Tim very interesting video look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
That fridge took me back a few decades with the small freezer compartment where we used to be able to fit a a block of ice cream in a cardboard packet. It looked a beautiful place to stay for somewhere "cheap" compared to the "cheap" hotels in the UK, it was luxury. You never showed us what was on the roof.
ha ha I have that similar fridge freezer now
I’ve stayed in Kamari 4 out of the 5 times I’ve visited Santorini. Lovely little resort, it’s busy but doesn’t have the insane crowds of Fira or Oia. Three weeks today and I’ll be there.
Lovely little hotel and a fantastic price. Thanks Tim.
Great value really nice hotel Thank-you Tim 😎👍
Awesome Tim! Another great video!You look great and know how to entertain!You never get boring..you just keep getting better year by year!
Your devoted fan from America
Thanks Tricia , hope you always watch every vid ;-)
Very loyal to you Tim .. will always try
Just my cup of tea, far more friendly than the last over the top Hotel.
Amazing value and looked nice and clean
Just found your channel, and am really enjoying watching. I skimmed through some comments and did not see anyone answering your question about the flowers. I’m on my phone and can’t tell for sure, but they look like Bougainville to me. If that is what they are, yjrn use, they like hot climates.
Another brilliant informative video, keep up with the great content!
Much appreciated!
Loved this hotel more than your expensive one, looked so cute x
Thanks Tim for some food for thought
I have to say Tim, I kind of like that quaint wee hotel.
It’s got pretty much all you would need to have a nice quiet holiday away from it all!
Don’t get me wrong I loved seeing the 5* place on your other vid but for the price this looks like a no brainer!
Great video as usual!👍👏👏👏😊❤️
That was a lovely little hotel I preferred to the posh one much more homely. I bet a lot of Greeks go there for their holidays.
Super charming and clean. I was expecting something uncomfortable or ugly or dirty.
I like it a lot👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎nice one Tim. Proper Greece.
What a charming little place you found there. Can't fault that price at all 😊
Certainly very good value and a rather nice quaint sort of hotel. Would have been interesting to have seen what eating out options were available.
Oh I love it, we love to experience the culture,(or did: I'm disabled now! ) abroad is a No No ! Really miss it, but we're exploring places in G.B we've missed 💓
Looks lovely 😊
I really liked the family atmosphere. My kind of place.
Wow what a beautiful little place for a bargain price too. Love the room you got with the Louvre blinds and enclosed balcony. One alarming point to note; that dangerous looking sharp knife pointing upwards from the Coke cup, it could have badly cut your hand. The Fanta lemon drink you should try sometime with lager, it’s an absolute game changer so refreshing. I learnt that one from one of the other UA-camr’s I watch Darren John.
larger with Fanta lemon! wow I will try that
@@WalkWithMeTim trust me it’s a game changer refreshing on a hot day
lol, the fanta n lager is wat we used to do in the 80's, lager with anything fizzy is a shandy.
and yeh, my skin crawled wen Tim was putting the kettle back, AFTER putting the cutlery back, with knife sticking up.
Regarding the shower here... Idea is to wet yourself, return shower head to holder, apply soap etc and wash it off. Pretty good and economical with the water usage....Who need much more??? What a lovely room and place to stay!
another great video as always!
Thanks again!
LOVE THIS!
Looks like good value small but cosy and you would be out spending time looking at that Wonderful place and coming back to chill out.
We were near there is May - just up the road.
Very nice, comfortable and charming.... and without feeling like the cash register was dinging every minute unlike that luxury stay... which was special of course, but hard to feel at ease. This place had everything one needed for a nice holiday stay. As for the heat, well, I live in South Florida so I'm accustomed to heat and humidity... don't love it, but one adjusts and wears the right light loose clothing and we move slowly.
Grear video Tim... thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vlog Tim ,My brother lived in Santorini for 10 years I went and visited him and his family back in 98.we are British but with Greek Cypriot parents .I think it's not only for the super rich.You can still have a cheap holiday there if you book in January pay it off slowly ,or rent a apartment nice and early .In the winter,for the summer.please visit Ayia Napa and protaras in Cyprus.. Especially fig tree bay great beach there .Also Santa Susana Costa brava Spain so much to do there also great for family s.Cheers Tim .you be great on TV actually doing a holiday programme for itv,your such a professional keep up the great work ,you bring in joy in people's life 😊just thought closer to home.Check out the ferries to France which give a better service for money you spend P&O or DFDS ferries.take care bye
