Cost vs worth
Despite how pretty the villas are, the hefty sum may throw some off guard at first. But if you do the math and pool more people in to split the cost, it might actually be worth it after all. While these Airbnbs are definitely out of the question for those on a shoe-string budget, for large groups who are looking for a comfortable stay, or couples who don’t mind spending extravagantly for a roof over your head, these are Airbnbs in Santorini to consider.
