If you are looking to stay in Oia, Santorini and want to be close to all of the action and yet have your own quiet spot to retreat to after a long day of fun, there is no better choice than Panos's Fisherman's Cave. The space is perfect for a family of 4 like us. We made fast friends with Maria, the waitress at Esperas, which is the restaurant the top bedroom window and kitchen window open up to. That may seem strange to some, but when food and drinks were being passed to us so we could enjoy our own patio and private sunset, Maria felt like family with her jolly laugh and sweet disposition. She even gave us ice for our cocktails as a neighbor would lend sugar. Of course she accepts tips! Our view was one that couldn't be beat! You could see the crowds, but you didn't have to be in the crowds. We enjoyed the plunge pool everyday, mind you it is not hot, but very comfortable after the heat of the day. Breakfast was served by Hatuna every morning. She was so gracious and lovely. I wish I could have spoken with her, but Google Translate helped. She even did laundry for us. My only comment to future guests would be to those who want to cook at home, be prepared with every item you may need to cook with and don't buy too much because it is a small refrigerator.
Panos was available every time I needed him and he was ready to help immediately. I strongly recommend anyone to consider this little slice of heaven!!
