Studios Marios

Absolute gem of a find in Kamari. We have just returned from a week at Studios Mario’s on the stunning island of Santorini. From the second we arrived we were looked after like family. The hotel Manager, Theo is an absolute star and nothing is too much trouble literally. From restaurant recommendations to bringing me an iced coffee to calling and sorting a buggy (at a reduced rate) so we could go out and explore the Island for the day. Absolute diamond guy. The property itself is pristine, cleaned daily and is a 3 minute walk from Kamari beach and all the amenities. It’s a small team at Studios Mario’s but my goodness they never stop. Studios Mario’s is a self catering complex and has more than enough should you wish to cook for yourself, however within 5 minutes you are on the beach front with an abundance of eateries. Not so good bits- it isn’t cheap we paid on average 65€ a night to eat, one evening being 93€. Food was ok, apart from one night, where we ate at Summertime which was amazing. Souvenirs and bits expensive, I wanted to change my suncream but at nearly 40€ a bottle I made do. The beach, while it looks fabulous, is a painful experience to walk on. Volcanic ‘sand’ definitely exfoliates your feet and it isn’t a pleasant experience. Sunbeds on the beach are commonly 15€ each and for the 2 of us at 30€ a day we thought that was too pricey. However, most sunbeds sit infront of various eateries and if you eat at the restaurants you can use the beds for free, which is fair enough. All in all a super holiday Would I go back, absolutely ♥️
