This place is pure magic! One of the only properties right in the amoudi bay. The property is approximately 80 steps up and it’s another 200 steps to Oia. If you are someone that loves walks or hikes this property is amazing. You get away from the tourist bustle above and have your own slice of paradise but can walk up or take a donkey to the top. Also easy to rent ATVs to drive up to Oia or around the island. You also have the postcard views looking up the cliff. No need to stay in Oia when you can stay here. Seriously some of the rentals another 100 steps up the cliff are 7k a night. This is better!
Our tips:
1. Wake up early and walk up the steps to Oia each morning. Plan to get there before 8am which is when the cruise ships arrive. You can enjoy Oia in peace with small crowds between 6-8am.
2. Come back down to your rental for breakfast. Chris brings a basket each day!
3. Enjoy the private deck, hot tub, drink wine! We had a complimentary bottle but also brought a few from duty free at the airport.
4. Check out the restaurants in the bay. You can walk up to any of them and request ocean table. We were able to do this day of and was easy! Our favorite was katina.
5. Get ice cream at cool cave! Multiple times.
6. Hike around the bay and jump in the water. There is a popular cliff jump spot too.
7. We did the ATV but honestly the Airbnb was better than any spot! We were driving to beaches on the island but none were as great ad the deck you get with this rental so don’t feel the need to see it all. You get the prime sunset here and without the crowds
