What an amazing experience from start to finish...and a lot of the reason was because we stayed at Maria’s place. She was extremely accommodating from the moment we arrived to when we had to leave. When we first arrived at the Santorini Airport, she arraigned a taxi ride from the airport to the cave house. But not only that, she arranged for a host to meet us at the taxi, take our luggage, and lead us to the cave house (the taxi could only go so far). But it gets better! She even had someone waiting at our cave house to let us in, sat down with us, opened a local map, and gave us a bird’s eye view of the island! They talked us through recommendations for food, shops, activities, and places to visit. It was incredible. That was a huge deal to us and gave us the confidence to navigate the island.
The actual cave house was fantastic inside & out. The view of the famous caldera was absolutely breathtaking as you can enjoy it on your private front porch. The house was clean and they have someone come to clean the house and supply fresh towels everyday.
At the end of our stay, once again Maria arranged for a taxi to come pick us up and take us to the airport. She also provided someone to come take our luggage to the taxi. Also, because our flight was later in the day and we had to check out earlier, Maria provided us a place to keep our luggage while we were able to enjoy the last day without lugging our suitcases around all day.
I would highly recommend Maria’s place! She was great!
