Staying at the Sunset Villas in Finikia was a wonderful decision. It is a short walk into Oia as most people mention. It is important to note that you must walk uphill for the first portion of your walk into town. Oia gets very busy with tourists and cruise ship tours as you get deeper into downtown. It is nice to have the quiet and calm of Finikia to retreat to.
We found many restaurants that had great food and some with spectacular views. Our favorite was Mes Amis. We enjoyed breakfasts and lunches there. Sitting on the terrace is a must. We also enjoyed Meza Meza which was to the left at the top of the hill, through the Finikia Parking Lot (past the market).
Nena arranged a sunset dinner at Sunsets restaurant for us. The sunset can not be described.
We also had a wonderful time on the catamaran cruise that Nena arranged for us. This is a must do adventure as well. You get to see the island and swim in 3 different spots that are not accessible except by boats.
The villa was spacious and cozy. We enjoyed having our Nespresso on the patio outside in the mornings and a drink in the hot tub at night. There was good WiFi and air conditioning. There are many windows to open to get the breeze.
We were very sad to leave.
