The views!! That balcony! Magical! The hosts are so helpful and attentive! Their suggestions for places to go were fantastic! They had a whole printed packet for us with all of the info we could have wanted and they answered our questions instantly! Oia has become a major tourist destination so there is a LOT of pedestrian traffic, especially in the evenings before sunset. We figured out that it's best to walk the shops early in the day and plan to spend the afternoon and evening elsewhere (or at home - we shopped at the market and made our own happy hour). The only other tip is that the ceilings upstairs are low. In retrospect, we should have put the kids upstairs and taken the downstairs beds. It was fine for me, but my husband (6'4") had to duck down to fit. Not a biggie since we spent as much time as possible on the balcony taking in those unbelievable caldera views. We loved our stay here!!
