Our group of six from Indiana stayed the entire week in Cave House 1 & 2 and it could not have been more perfect! With the enormous terrace overlooking the entire caldera, we felt like we were the center of the universe here in Oia. We were genuinely sad that our time here in Santorini had to come to an end.
Laskarina and Yannis were gracious hosts and arranged for our transfer to and from the airport, along with strapping young men to carry our luggage down and back up the steep stairs...thank God!
The 39 stony steps are sloped at about a 30 degree angle, so can be a bit challenging, but if you are in fairly good shape the stairs should not be a huge problem. These same steps are used by the donkeys that trek from Oia down to the bay. It was a lot of fun to see them make the trip down and back up several times a day.
We were about a 10 minute walk from Amoudi Bay where we had an unobstructed sunset view every evening. All the restaurants were wonderful, but our favorite was Floga, which was just 22 steps up from our terrace.
We all want to return to Santorini (specifically Oia) soon and definitely want to stay here again in Laskarina's cavehomes.
