Maria’s home is exactly as it appears. In equal measures simple and charming, it makes for a very special stay in Santorini. I loved the set up so much, I dropped plans to explore one morning to sit out in the patio area and sip coffee and read and take in the sites and sounds. Finikia is quiet (there are no cars allowed in the village) but has the convenience of some good food right next door. It is a quick and easy walk to Oia—but a welcome respite from the throngs of tourists. Be sure to explore around because there are some beautiful nooks and crannies and stunning views. Maria is a lovely host who set up transfers and a boat trip with a wonderful crew and even responded quickly when I had a quick question about a local recommendation. I 100% recommend staying here—and you will be lucky to interact with Maria and her kind maid, who is so very sweet.
