Condé Nast Traveler "From Chromata's cliff-top perch, Santorini's famed blues have never looked so good." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "From the highest point of Santorini’s caldera – where luxury resort Chromata sits – the view is so incredible that scene-stealing interiors would be nothing short of an insult." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The beautiful Chromata Villa was a private home during the Venetian period, but today, it's one of Santorini's most luxurious five-star accommodations"
Michelin Guide "At the highest point of Santorini’s volcanic caldera, Chromata would be remarkable enough for the view alone...the pool is as stunning as you can imagine" Full review
