Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Fira cost?
Budget hotel prices in Fira vary, but you can find a great deal from £55 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Fira is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Fira, staying slightly outside the immediate caldera cliffside areas, such as in the neighbourhoods of Firostefani or Karterados, often provides more affordable options. These areas are just a short walk or bus ride from the bustling Fira centre but offer better value for money.

Firostefani, located just north of Fira, provides a quieter atmosphere and often boasts hotels with similar stunning views at a lower price point. Solo travellers will find it easy to walk into Fira town for nightlife and dining, while enjoying a more relaxed return to their accommodation.

Alternatively, Karterados, a traditional village just south of Fira, is another excellent choice for budget-conscious solo travellers. This area features many family-run guesthouses and smaller hotels that are significantly cheaper than those directly on the caldera.
When is the most affordable time to visit Fira?
The most affordable time to visit Fira is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from April to early June and again from late September to October. These periods offer pleasant weather without the peak season crowds and inflated prices.

During these months, you'll find better deals on accommodation, flights, and even local activities compared to the bustling summer months of July and August. For solo travellers, this means enjoying the stunning caldera views and charming streets with a bit more tranquility and significantly less strain on your wallet.

While the winter months (November to March) might offer even lower prices, many businesses, including hotels and restaurants, close down, and the weather can be unpredictable.
Is Fira a budget-friendly destination?
While Fira is generally considered more expensive, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, solo travellers and couples can look for guesthouses or apartments slightly away from the caldera-edge luxury, perhaps in areas like Firostefani or Karterados, which offer more affordable options and are still within walking distance or a short bus ride to Fira's centre.

Couples can save on dining by seeking out local tavernas away from the main tourist strips, where authentic Greek dishes can be enjoyed at more reasonable prices. Picnics with fresh produce from local markets are also a delightful and cost-effective option, offering stunning views without the restaurant price tag. Many of Fira's most captivating experiences are free, such as watching the legendary sunsets from various viewpoints, exploring the charming alleyways, or hiking the scenic path to Oia.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Fira with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Fira. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Fira?
There are plenty of fantastic free activities to enjoy in Fira, allowing you to soak up the stunning beauty of Santorini without spending a penny.

For couples, a highlight is strolling along the caldera path, especially at sunset. The views across the Aegean Sea to the volcano and the iconic white-washed villages are breathtaking, providing countless opportunities for memorable photos. You can wander through the charming alleyways, admiring the traditional Cycladic architecture and browsing the small shops, even if you're just window shopping. Exploring the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral and the Catholic Cathedral, both beautiful architectural landmarks, also offers a peaceful respite.

Solo travellers might enjoy hiking from Fira to Imerovigli, or even further to Oia, along the caldera rim. This walk, while a bit challenging in parts, offers unparalleled panoramic vistas of the island and the sea. You can also spend time simply relaxing at one of the many viewpoints, watching the boats sail by and soaking in the special environment.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Fira as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Fira for you.
