This was a great authentic stay in a town that is pretty full with tourists so it’s easy to lose sight of the authenticity of just how cute and unique Oia is. We LOVED having a cute cave house to retreat to in the heat and chaos of the afternoon. We could sit on the terrace and have breakfast or a glass of wine and take in the breathtaking view.
The location is perfect in the middle of Oia and the view cannot be beat. There is no a/c but with the fan it was okay (mid-June). I wouldn’t want it much hotter. The shower is small, but that was clear in the reviews and it is an authentic cave house so makes sense. It’s really nice that the 3 beds are all in separate spaces - it was me, my 15 year old and my mother so we appreciated having our own private areas and beds!
I recommend buying croissants from Millenio the night before and enjoying them with some fresh honey on the patio in the morning. Also, if you can, get up early and explore Oia each day before the cruise ship arrives. It’s like a different town and is so peaceful!
The staff on arrival/departure is wonderful, giving us ideas, booking us tables, carrying my mom’s suitcase, great communication, etc. We really enjoyed our stay!
