Loved our accommodations and all the help our host provided in coordinating pickup and drop offs to/from airports and ports. All we had to do is give Laskarina the information on when we were arriving and what we wanted to do and she coordinated everything for us. It was like she was our personal concierge.
I love how attentive, flexible and accommodating she was. We were originally flying into Santorini from Athens and were schedule to get in late at night. We changed our minds the morning of our departure and took the high speed ferry to Santorini. Without hesitation, Laskarina modified the transfer information to make sure that someone met us at the port. We were driving to Oia and met by a person that led us to our cave house. Between the driver and the person greeting us in Oia, we never had to touch our bags until we were at the Cave house.
The only thing that I was not clear on in the description was the free laundry service. I was thinking that someone would come and wash and return laundry. Instead, we learned that there is a washing machine in an area below our cave house. Laskarina provides the washing machine, soap for the laundry, and a drying rack. This came in handy because it was very hot during our stay and on some days we changed clothes as many as three times.
There are numerous shops and restaurants just steps away from our cave. There is a pool that is open to the public that is not far. Only cost is a drink from the bar.
The scenery is beautiful, as the patio of the cave looks out onto the Aegean Sea.
You can walk down the stairs (about 250) stairs down to the seafront, walk to the pool or go to the red, white or black beaches via car or ATV. Very easy to rent ATV's and many people use them. $33 a day for one that seats two people. They will bring ATV's from you and pick them up from you as well.
There is a hiking path between Oia and Fira that takes about four hours, but has wonderful views. If you are like me and like photography, there is a great deal of natural beauty to see along the path.
I had not been to Santorini before and had not known of Santorini cats, but was welcomed by a small black cat shortly upon our arrival and she came to see us almost every day. The cat was really nice. Also had a yellow Labrador that came to visit as well. These animals are very friendly and appear to belong to the island.
We had a wonderful time in Santorini and the accommodations were wonderful!
