I know what you’re thinking - “this location is not close to Oia.” And that is the exact reason you should stay Mystagoge Retreat! This is a Traditional Santorini home based in a traditional Santorini neighborhood which, in our opinion, is vastly greater than staying in a high traffic area. The nights are calm and relaxing - days are peaceful. However, there are two things that put this property over the top (and I’m not talking about the pool … which is amazing).
First, the host (Artemia) of the home is hands-down the best “amenity” of this property :-) Meaning, the host helped with anything and everything - booked us a vehicle for our stay, called to make dinner reservations each night, personally drove us to get our COVID testing for our return home. We have done a lot of travel and this host is spectacular.
Second, the host has a partnership with a driver (Cristos) who will literally drive you anywhere at anytime. He and his beautiful Mercedes van made this home feel like it was near every major attraction on the island. And of course, Artemia will schedule Cristos to drive whenever you need :-).
