After delaying a santorini holiday for years due to crowds etc we made the perfect choice at Casa Sofia ... Yes the view was so great that you needn't leave ... The cave room cool for those who prefer to read indoors ... And so close some good swimming and foods. Despite the people everywhere we felt very peaceful . I recommend the boat trip on old boat to volcano to get good feel for caldera as well as exploring the island by wheels for at least a day for ancient thira and the red beach etc .... Thanks Maria and Casa Sofia for a great stay .
