Our stay in Emporio was a real dream. Our troglodytic dwelling was quite a smashing experience!! The cave#1 is meant for 3 people , a couple with a teenager. It used to be a former wine press cellar and transformed into a really original fairy tale dwelling.
Located Up in a valley in Emporio, where the tradition of troglodytic houses is very old, our cave had a vaulted ceiling all painted in white, the interior design was exquisite .
Our host Theo is really a Gentleman , very dedicated to his guests and very thoughtful, he welcomed us with a plate of local vegetables and fruit grown in the gardens around, a goat cheese and those little tomatoes ( we just read the Santorini tomatoes were famous around the world!!!) that are part of the famous Cretan Diet!! Believe me they are really tasty!! So different from those grown with hydroponic techniques!!
Theo was really helpful to us.
We had a terrace above the cave, overlooking the valley where we could stay and enjoy the panoramic view of the valley the Aegean Sea and the village of Emporio and its Venetian fortress ( lit at night)
We will always remember those 2 weeks of peace there and will surely come back in the future!!
