Everything about the space is well represented in the description. If you are here looking at reviews, just book it now while you can. The space is thoughtfully laid out, cozy, and comfortable. The location is awesome - 5 minute walk into Pyrgos village, restaurants and shops. It is close enough to be convenient and secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful at night. By the end of our trip, we were so glad to have stayed in Pyrgos instead of Oia or Fira - no dealing with crazy crowds or traffic, and centrally located on the island to access both ends.
What is not represented in the description is Nikos. This is not a lockbox airbnb, this is Greek hospitality incarnate.
He was born and raised on Thera and his family owns the cave hotel and vineyard. He will welcome you with wine that his family made. He will give you recommendations for what to do and where to eat. Listen to him. Trust Nikos. He is motivated by a love of his island and culture and wants visitors to feel like family. He built the pool to take advantage of the spectacular views because he wants his visitors to fall in love with it too. You will.
I got scratched by a feral cat and woke up with an infected finger. Nikos drove me to the hospital on his motorcycle, stopping at the pharmacy for a tetanus booster on the way, and then went back to pick up my husband to wait with me.
He arranged for airport transfers for us both arriving and departing. He arranged for ATV rental at a discount and included drop off and delivery. Our trip was so smooth and easy thanks to Nikos! We did not know we needed a Nikos until we had a Nikos.
So yes, the room is great, but that is secondary to the greatness of Nikos.
