Little gem in a peaceful more natural location outside of Oia Village.
We spent just one night on our way to another Greek island, but man I am glad we stayed here instead of somewhere in Oia town proper. My wife had been dying to see the town- just like everyone else. But at least this time of year it is a madhouse, way too many tourists so many it’s unbearable. Still very beautiful and worth seeing though!
Their setup which consists of several private villas is situated about 3km I think outside of Oia facing the opposite direction towards the sea. The villa itself had a very nice Cycladic feel, clean and fun if you are not used to that kind of architecture! It is a beautiful view to the sea from probably any of the porches of the villas. The receptionist was very nice and helped make us comfortable in every way possible until our villa was ready as we arrived on a flight at 5:50am.
It would have been nice to have a rental car (which they advised) or a quad, but we were trying to save some money so just took the public bus up to Oia $1.80 and walked back. The walk is long but kinda nice (long as it’s not really hot) if you don’t mind walking on the side of the road and being aware of the traffic...
Also I must recommend the restaurant nearest to this place- Taverna Dolphin, we had a delicious meal there traditional Greek stuff on their patio and I can only imagine it was 1/3 the price of anything in Oia town. Much more laid back environment too.
This villa is great for a couple who wants to see Oia but get a more relaxing/natural Santorini experience!
