Visit the authentic Oia and feel like a time traveler. This cave house is in the perfect village location, and a close walk to everything in Oia. The house was bigger than it looked online.
We have three kids, 9,11,and a big 15 year old boy. There maybe different configurations of this rental, but we had both “upstairs” for kids, and “downstairs” for adults. Kitchen table was big enough for us all to sit and eat. Because it’s literally in a cave, it’s cool (with the a/c turned on low, not naturally with 36’c heat!).
One great feature was the swimming pool was actually shaded for some of the day....so while it’s not a swimming pool with a serene view, it was a great way for our kids to play outside for some hot afternoon hours.
This house does not have a sunset view, but it does have a gorgeous view of the caldera. You must sit outside for this view, and there are a few places to choose from for this. View spots have 1 or 2 spaces, not a big flat room.
Enjoy this space, we really did! Laksarina gave some great advice on local ideas and the welcome bottle of wine was a treat. They were also lovely to organize a transfer from the Port - finding this place on our own would have been difficult. And the porters who hucked our rolly suitcases on his shoulder over narrow cobblestone streets, a blessing. This town isn’t for the non-mobile! And bring some sturdy walking sandals.
