Continuing the research-first standard set two weeks ago, this batch names real hotels and restaurants for the first time — the two categories where getting a name wrong, or recommending somewhere that's changed hands or closed, would actually mislead someone.
What's new
- Stay gained profiles of six established caldera-view hotels (Katikies, Mystique, Andronis Luxury Suites, Grace, Astra Suites, Canaves Oia Suites) and a boutique-vs-chain hotels guide.
- Food gained profiles of five restaurants consistently recommended for genuinely earning their view premium, plus a Santorini honey guide.
- Do gained the Profitis Ilias summit hike from Pyrgos, a second coastal walk near Akrotiri, and a quad-bike routes guide.
- Culture gained a film-locations guide — including a direct correction of the common assumption that Mamma Mia! was filmed here (it wasn't; that's Skopelos and Skiathos) — and a Santorini vs. Crete comparison.
As with the winery and entry-requirements pages, named businesses here were checked against current, independent sources rather than written from memory — and, as always, these details change (ownership, pricing, even whether a place is still open), so treat this as a research starting point. Corrections go to the contact page.
Spotted something out of date, or have a correction? Let us know — we'd rather fix it fast than leave it wrong.
