Seaside by manos Santorini

Seaside Manos is a hidden gem in Santorini, perfectly nestled close to the shoreline. This charming hotel combines traditional Greek hospitality with locally sourced wines and authentic Greek cuisine. Established over 30 years ago and recently refurbished to a high standard, the hotel beautifully reflects the classic white-and-blue Santorini aesthetic.

The rooms are exceptionally clean and serviced daily, with thoughtful touches such as under-bed lighting that creates a relaxing ambience in the evenings.

Seaside Manos offers a lovely traditional breakfast including Greek yogurt, fresh toast, homemade cake, and additional options such as a cooked breakfast. The hotel also has a swimming pool and appears very family-friendly.

Nothing is too much trouble for the hosts, who are attentive, welcoming, and genuinely eager to make your stay comfortable — even providing blankets on cooler evenings while guests relax with a glass of local wine.

Although the hotel is situated in the flight path, it did not bother us at all. Santorini is a small island, approximately 2 miles wide and 10 miles long, so this is to be expected in many areas.

For those looking for a livelier evening, there are nearby shops, karaoke, and even an Irish bar within a short walking distance.

We visited in May and enjoyed warm weather throughout our stay, with no issues from mosquitoes or flies.

Travelling on a budget for my 60th birthday, we found the price exceptional for our 8-day stay. We would happily stay again and would not hesitate to recommend Seaside Manos to others.
