Katikies, Oia, Santorini, Greece
Without doubt, Santorini's most popular hotel, Katikies is unique, chic and utterly Greek: a charming, diminutive hotel that seemingly hangs 100 metres above the caldera's dazzlingly blue basin, with free-form stairs, bridges and walks amid its light-flooded cave houses serving up a modernist take on Oia's surreal layout.
Life generally revolves around the three stunning infinity pools with most guests choosing to stay put their entire stay. And with exceptional poolside service, sunset wine-tastings, and beautifully executed meals at the Pool Bar and Restaurant, the SELTZ Champagne Bar and Restaurant, and the candlelit rooftop Mikrasia Restaurant, we can't really blame them.
