Not all ferries leave from Piraeus, as some of the closer Cyclades islands to Athens have ferry connections with Rafina Port. Some readers book a hotel in Rafina as an option depending on their ferry schedule.
Avra Hotel – A useful hotel for anyone taking an early ferry from Rafina or arriving late. It may also serve as an Athens Airport hotel, but check they still offer a shuttle service before booking else you'll need a taxi.
Popular Hotels in Santorini, Greece
Oia and Fira are the two most popular places to stay in Santorini with my readers. Personally, I think Fira is better for people staying more than a couple of nights and especially in the off-season. It seems though that more readers booked hotels in Oia than Fira.

Parikia is the most popular area for my readers to book a hotel in Paros. That's because a lot of my readers are greek island hopping rather than staying in one place for too long. As such, Parikia makes an excellent location to be based, and there's plenty of accommodation to choose from.
