My wife and I eloped to Santorini so that we could get married in Oia overlooking the Caldera! Throughout our entire experience, Evi was a phenomenal host! Our trip could not have been better. We booked the Evi’s Likno Traditional Villa about 7-8 months before our trip. Evi kept in touch with us after we booked her Villa—she gave us a recommendation for a wedding coordinator and helped make arrangements for transportation from the airport when we arrived in Santorini. After arriving in Oia, Evi met us and completely took care of transferring our luggage to her place (including personally carrying some large suitcases up and down several stairs). We arrived to her beautiful place to find a bowl full of fresh fruit, several snacks, and bottle of wine!
When we arrived, Evi gave us a great orientation and provided us with a local cellphone to use during our stay. She helped make arrangements for activities, including making restaurant reservations for our wedding night and giving us recommendations for a bakery where we could buy our wedding cake. Evi completely took care of getting my wife’s wedding dressed steamed! As I mentioned, she was the perfect host—giving us privacy, but quickly taking care of anything we needed.
The Likno Traditional Villa was like a dream. I can honestly that it is actually more beautiful that what is depicted in the pictures. The Villa was perfectly clean, and Evi had a very nice woman clean everyday (she arranged a time based on what would be convenient for us).
The Likno Villas are perfectly located in Oia. We had plenty of privacy in the Villa and on our beautiful terrace with a perfect view of the caldera. However, we only had to walk up some stairs to get to the main pedestrian way in Oia. There is very nice place for coffee and breakfast just at the top of the steps. There is a small grocery market just a 2-minute walk away. Since it was just the 2 of us (along with a wedding coordinator, officiant, and photographer), we were able to have our little wedding ceremony on the lower terrace. Evi attending our ceremony as witness and even bought us an expensive bottle of Moet to drink after the ceremony. The setting, the weather, and the view of caldera were absolutely perfect. The Traditional Villa is lower of her 2 places, and there were no houses or buildings below us, which provided complete privacy.
I believe this probably the best place we’ve stayed on a vacation. Evi’s Villa was completely comfortable, clean, and perfectly located with an unbelievable view. And was really a perfect host. By the time we left, we considered her to be a friend. She truly carried about our wellbeing and experience, and she made our dream elopement an overwhelming success!! It was even better than we could have imagined!
