Astarte is a secluded paradise away from the tourists of Santorini. That said, be aware it takes about 45 minute to 90 to get to Fira, and Oia. The rooms were perfect, each with a real jacuzzi tub. Breakfast is ordered the evening before and delivered to your private patio. The hotel is carved into the hillside with incredible views of Fira and the caldera, Note, there are very steep steps, and a lot of them leading down to the hotel, which was difficult for one of our friends. The pool is small and closes at 6:00PM, so they can serve an elegant dining experience with wonderful views. It would have been nice to be able to use the pool and watch the sunset, or just cool off in the evening. The bar staff by the pool was not the most efficient nor accommodating.
