Staying at Maria's place was such a great experience. Everything at the villa was exactly as described. The cave house is truly a one of a kind experience, you are in the middle of it all yet it still feels very secluded. The views are everything you've seen online, in brochures, etc. The restaurants, shops and trails to the beaches are literally steps from your villa. Hop on the city bus to take you into the town of Fira, rent a quad and explore on your own, whatever you do, when you return, the villa is waiting with impeccable views and comfortable beds.
