Oia is a very picturesque village in Santorini. While you do not need more than a day to cover the village, there are some island trips that you should take a day to do. it is convenient to do a lot of boat trips from Oia and from "Marcos Rooms" specifically because it is on the side of the village closer to the port. But be prepared for a climb back up to the village from the port! Also a note, make sure to have cash with you at all times, very few places accept cash.

Panos' mother who hosted us was very kind. When we first arrived, she welcomed us with a glass of juice/coffee and oriented us to the place. She was also very helpful to us when we were in a difficult situation regarding our travel plans. We missed a ferry due to a timing misunderstanding and she helped us to figure out our new plans. She was hospitable and the room was nice although the bed my daughter slept on was a bit uncomfortable because the springs were sticking out of the bed. Not the best mattress, but doable for a night or two. The only other complaint we had was a leak in the floor of our room near the bathroom, but it wasn't a big deal and I'm sure it isn't the case for every room.

It is an old house, but clean and well kept. Panos' mother works hard to keep it well-maintained. There is also a very nice breakfast included in the stay and the sunset view is beautiful from the roof of the house. Worth the money overall.

If you have any questions or concerns about logistics during your stay, do consult the host, she knows a lot about timings of buses and other things on the island. We definitely recommend a stay here, it is probably the best price you will find in Oia and of course a pleasant experience as well.

Thank you for a nice stay in Santorini!
