Our traditional studios are built in such a manner that blends in with the local Cycladic architecture of the island of Santorini. Whitewashed and complemented with blue window panes and doors, Kasimatis Studios is as pretty as a picture. Each of our studios has a large patio overlooking the infinite blue Aegean Sea. Nestled among pretty flower pots, lie back and enjoy the stunning sunset in your very own private veranda!

Kasimatis Studios is run by a friendly, traditional Greek family which will make your stay as heart-warming and authentic as can be. Our rooms have an interesting history. The renovated building was called "Canava" in the old days, as the Kasimatis family used to produce wine there. Visitors can still taste the family's homemade wine, still produced with traditional methods without preservatives and well-acknowledged all over the island for its excellent taste.



Where are Kasimatis Studios Located?

Kasimatis Studios are located at the village Imerovigli, around 3 km away from FIRA, the capital of Santorini, 13 km from the port and 9 km from the airport. Imerovigli means "day watch" and it was named many years ago by the local people, since it was the highest spot of the Caldera' s rim. Its inhabitants used to watch the sea for pirate attacks.




One of the most attractive places of Imerovigli is the castle of Scaros. It was used as the main dwelling by the Venetian leader Marko Sanouthos, who dominated the island in 1207. The castle protected the western entrance of the island from attacks. It included two portions, "Rocka" and an area where Roman aristocrats and Catholic bishops had their residence. The castle was never defeated during the 600 years of existence.

Imerovigli is a place over-sighting Caldera, ideal for observation, photographs and videos under an extraordinary variety of natural lights and colors. It is located at the highest point of the Caldera's rim giving from any point of the village a breathtaking view towards the volcano, the sea and the surrounding islets. Because of its proximity with FIRA, Imerovigli is connected with a public road or by an old path, offering a spectacular view as you walk along the rim.
