We arrived in Santorini from Athens, the flight was super short and the airport very close to the Oia, I hightly recommend renting a car, or else it is very difficult to move freely around the island, I dont know if its the same in summer, but I felt sorry for many japanese tourist that were just waiting for a bus for hrs. Upon we were greeted by Armand, the caretaker of the house, who kindly helped us to carry our lugagge down many steps to the place (travel lightly). And although the day was a bit cloudy becasue it's winter, the view was absolutely breath taking! The place is gorgeous. We entered the house, that seemed like a little cave from the outside, and found a charming traditional, beautifully decorated, authentic cave house! It was fantastic. Had just the space we needed for 4 people, each couple their side of the house, one of the rooms is almost completely independant. The kitchen is tiny but we managed to cook meals there almost every day, it has everything you need to cook, the fridge is big. The terrace is huge and nice to lounge around and just drink wine, eat olives and enjoy the view of the meditarranean and all the cats chasing around. Armand and his son were super helpful, (they live in the house next door) and I feel in love with their dog Lordy, for whom I ended up buying a flea collar because the poor thing was scratching all the time. He had a merry Christmas too! Be ware that if you go in winter you will be there practically on your own, most places in the island are closed, almost all restaurants and shops, it does tend to get a bit chilly, specially because it is very humid. We did manage to find a great place to have Christmas dinner at quite close to the house, that was lovely. The overall experience of our stay was fantastic, we caught a couple of days of sun, enough to appreciate what Santorini is probably like in summer, absolutely gorgeous, but we actually enjoyed the quiet calmness of a place so popular in summer but with CERO turists in winter, we had it all to owrselves! Santorin and the Bluedome will remain in our travel hitlist forever. Hope to go back some day! Best, V
