The Iridano Cave house is exactly as advertised. You are staying in a cave house, which for us was a new and enjoyable experience.
Megalochori is a quiet traditional village. It is great for families who want a quiet place to stay. If you are looking to party, try elsewhere.
The house is perfectly situated within village. Close to The family bakery, which as far as I can tell is open 24/7. Freddo cappuccino anytime you want. Also very close to mini market and 6 or 7 restaurants.
Free parking is close by...and I would suggest renting a car to get to the various sights on island. Cheaper than cabs, and more convenient than buses. This location would be different than staying in Fira, or Oia...but in a good way, in my opinion. Fira about 10 min drive, Oia about 30 mins. Thera wave bar about 15min. Kamari Beach about 20 min. There is a large supermarket about 3 min drive away.
Christos is an amazing host. Extremely responsive to queries. He greets you in person to explain house and amenities. He arranged transfer from port which was very welcome...as disembarking from ferry is a 5 ring circus. He also arranged for a rental car to be delivered to us upon our request, which was extremely helpful.
The cave house stays relatively cool, despite the July heat. There is no AC. But there is a dehumidifier which helps to keep the humidity manageable. The BR deepest in the cave does still get rather humid, which is unavoidable.
All told, this was a great home base for exploring Santorini in 5 days. I highly recommend christos’ iridano Cave house.
