Guide Review - Matina Hotel on Santorini
This family-run small hotel has just 31 rooms and suites. It's located near the black sand beach Kamari on the "other" side of the island, near the ancient site of Roman-era Thera.
Booking through an on-line service? There is another Hotel Matina on the island of Mykonos and yet another on the island of Rhodes - be sure you are booking for the right island.
