Hosts: Aris is the man! He is extremely helpful and communicative; he helped us with our airport pick up and ferry drop off (had problems with flight delays and whatnot), as well as providing information about car rentals. He provided many of his own personal recommendations of things to do on the island so it was great to hear from a local’s perspective. Manos and Nitsa (the owners of the cave house) are the sweetest couple ever! They don’t speak much English but they helped us out so much during our stay here. They’d greet us in the morning and evening if they heard or saw us. We even got lost on our first night and had to park somewhere so Nitsa walked with us to the car and directed us home! Manos also helped coordinate pickup for a cruise we did because the minibus wouldn’t be able to reach us so they called the touring company on our behalf. Their hospitality and kindness are unparalleled and tells me a lot about the Greeks and made for the most memorable experience.
Accommodation: As for the place itself, it had everything we needed and was perfect for us. Cave houses are traditional places for people to live in so it was a worthwhile experience to live like the Greeks do!
Transportation: There is a bus stop nearby, maybe 5-10 min walk past the church. I would advise to rent a car, ATV, scooter or something to see the island as you should. The buses can be... unpredictable so it would be better to have your own mode of transportation to maximize your time in Santorini. Oh, please please arrange any transfers with Aris as the cave house doesn’t have a “true” address and can be quite difficult for taxis to find and by Google maps.
Overall: I HIGHLY recommend staying here! Especially if you don’t mind living with the locals and away from the tourists but still close enough to the main places on the island (ex. Fira is about 10 mins away by car and Oia is 30ish mins). The hosts are the best people you can hope to meet and interact with!
