People pay thousands of dollars a night to stay in hotels with this view, so by comparison this Airbnb is fantastic value, although pricy for some. Oia is extremely expensive and overrun with tourists. The only way to get the most out of Santorini is to find accomodation like this and leave as little as possible. We had basic meals in (the closest mini mart is very average, go for a walk before the cruise ships come in and find one with local cheese and wine, or to the bakery about 10 minutes away in foot) and watched the sunset every night, with a view of both the ocean and the wall where those without access to the view crowd around and jostle for ultimate photo positions. Everyone claps and cheers when the sun goes down.
The accomodation itself is stylish but basic and is serviced daily. The small pool is the perfect temperature, although unlike a hotel the outdoor area is not very private (nothing separating you from the other one next door, which wasn’t a problem for us but could be for some).
Our host was very quick to respond to messages and was understanding when our ferry was cancelled and a private boat subsequently dropped us at the wrong port when a transfer was waiting at another. She sent Anastasis to meet us and he arrived quickly despite the delay. He organised for a porter to carry our bags (we didn’t really have a choice and then he told us after the fact it was 10 Euro, which again was fine but would have been nice to know that first). He was quick to fix the internet when it wasn’t working and offered to help with quad bike hire (although he was going to charge us 55 Euro a day and multiple other places only charge 35 Euro per day, so we didn’t use him in the end).
Overall a stunning stay with a priceless view, but it’s always good to be a little savvy in Oia.
