Kapetanios Studios

After months of uncertainty caused by the global coronavirus pandemic having made our original booking back in January, we were delighted to be able to go on our holiday to Santorini in August 2020. In the circumstances, it probably turned out as being one of the best times to visit the island during the school holidays as number were lower than usual. Although the number of cases have been very low, certainly compared to the UK, in the region, our hosts and service staff across the island were always attentive to ensuring health measures such as wearing masks and sanitising hands. Kapetanios Studios is a small, family-run hotel complex and ideal for families like ours with children who prefer the beaches on the eastern side of the island to the expensive properties on the western side. As others have pointed out, owner Freddy provided a shuttle service between the airport and hotel both on our arrival and departure. We arrived late on Saturday evening and he also drove us to Kapetanios' sister hotel 'Hotel Perissa', some 650 metres down the road, which is run by his eldest son (his younger son looks after Kapetanios). Here, we were treated to meals of both great quantity and quality which were also the cheapest we experienced during our stay. Freddy's son then drove us back to Kapetanios. There is a small swimming pool at Kapetanios but much larger one at Hotel Perissa which Kapetanios guests are able to use for no extra charge and we returned to Hotel Perissa on two further occasions throughout the week to enjoy their facilities. Kapetanios proved to be an affordable base for our family holiday in Santorini. Perissa Beach is a one-mile walk from the hotel (tip while on the beach, get free use of a couple of sunbeds and umbrellas by visiting one of the seafront restaurants rather than paying €20 for just one like we did on the first day). At the north end of Perissa Beach you can also book a variety of day trips - we'd recommend the full-day trip at €45 per person (children half price) that takes in the volcano and island of Thirasia by boat and then coach trip to Oia in plenty of time for the famous sunset. We also visited the island's capital Thera by local bus (there's a stop on the main road close to Kapetanios). It's well worth mentioning that the superb Santa Irini bakery that I'll also review separately is also less than half a mile's walk from Kapetanios and situated next to a supermarket.

Me and my family (3 boys) loved this place. The pool is great and clean. The location is very nice. Close to restaurants and the beach and a lot of car rentals and the bus. The room was not that big but perfect that we could stay in one room with 5 people. Large balcony so perfect to have breakfast. Freddy came to pick us up and brought us back to the Port for free. Great place!!

Un peu retiré de Périssait (voiture nécessaire), la résidence offre un coin tranquille avec des chambres de qualité (martelas confortables), espace de vie confortable et une terrasse à l’abris des regards. Les propriétaires sont charmants et proposent leurs services pour vous aider. Le ménage journalier est de qualité. Un petit bémol, difficile de faire marcher le wifi

Excellent accueil . Deco simple, propreté impeccable . Serviettes changées chaque jour . Navettes aéroports / ports gratuites . Freddy est aux petits soins pour ses hôtes et la pour les guider . Excellent rapport qualité / prix

Nous avons passé plus d'un mois à bas, nous avons finis une partie du confinement à studios Kapetanios et franchement nous n'avons pas été déçu. La piscine, est juste magnifique, entourée d'olivier. sans compter les chatons qui viennent jouer à coté de vous 😍 Les studios sont très bien équipés, et un rapport qualité prix super. Tout est super propre. la plage est a 900m, et Perissa est à coté. Freddy est un hôte adorable, qui fait tout pour vous rendre la vie agréable. je travaille sur internent et il a tout fait pour m'arranger de ce coté là. Il nous a même accompagné à SAWA, chez Christina, le refuge d'animaux à Santorini, pace que la route était difficile, et nous a ramené après. Sans lui nous n'aurions pas pu le faire. Nous étions aux petits soins durant tout le séjour. Sans compter l'établissement qui est aux couleurs locales, bleue et blanc, évidemment 😉
