The view is exactly what you see in the pictures! But just know you can’t see the sunset from your terrace... you have to go just up the stairs to the top of the hill to see it. Not a big deal at all....But the sunrise is absolutely gorgeous! Make sure you wake up to see it during your stay.
The customer service and communication with Maria about anything and everything to see and do in Santorini was great! We highly recommend paying the 35 Euro airport transfer and porters for your luggage. Taxis are hard to come by on Santorini and the buses are cheap but are a bit of a hassle.
2 restaurants you MUST visit are ‘Fino’s’ for dinner and AMAZING cocktails! Make a reservation and it’s only a 5min walk from your terrace. And go to ‘Meteor Cafe’ for breakfast and late night drinks just up the stairs from the terrace. One of the best coffees I’ve ever had and the view cannot be beat.... look it up :-)
Visit Kamari beach for a day. Take the bus to Thira and then Kamari Beach for less than 4 euro per person or pay 25-30Euro each way for taxi that you have to reserve ahead of time. And visit Ammoudi Bay at the very bottom of Oia steps for fresh seafood lunch at Ammoudi Fish Tavern for the BEST lunch in the bay. Make sure to take your swim suit for a swim around the corner from Ammoudi down a dirt path about 2min walk to the most crystal clear blue water you’ve ever seen. Bring water shoes if you have them for some sharp rocks around the water edge. Then prepare to either walk up the 300 steps back or take a 6 Euro donkey trip back up... also highly recommended. Haha
