The location of the cave is great, 400m or so from a beach (although the black sand gets very very hot!). Would advise you to hire a scooter or quad like we did because it is 7kn from Fira and 8km from Oia which you will want and need to visit; Nikolas (and Nikos) were very helpful in arranging the quad hire and lift from the port for us which saved us a lot of hassle! The only downside of the cave is there is no fan or A/C in anyway which is really needed in the heat there!
