We were a group of 7 (2 couples and 3 singles) who had an amazing stay at Villa Marina. The Villa is in the heart of Oia with spectacular views from the balcony and plunge pool over the bay caldera and Oia buildings, including clear view to the blue domes. There is a separate bedroom with great cave like ensuite and little kitchen that is across from the main sleeping areas (great for the quieter people of a group) which is well reflected in the pictures. Its a short walk to the main esplanade with shops and supermarkets (don't forget the saganaki and giro pita's!) and less than 15 minutes to walk the entire town of Oia. Ef, the concierge who met us as we arrived was very helpful and spoke great english. You may run into some larger crowds in the afternoon taking pictures as you leave the upper gate of the Villa and small laneway but they are just trying to get the same photo you get from the balcony! We all agreed we would stay at Villa Marina again if given the chance.
