We had such a great experience staying at Theo's Cave home in Emporio. It was our first time in Santorini and we are the adventurous type of travelers; Emporio feels like the "real" Santorini. The cave home is in the heart of a small farmers villiage, nestled just below a gorgeous cliff. We rented a Fiat convertable (LOVED IT), and explored all that southern Santorini has to offer; the tomato museum, beautiful beaches, ancient Akrotiri, the vineyards.. We felt so central to everything, and were blown away with Theo's cheat sheet of incredible restaurants, also the cafe he suggested, Tranquilo, was unlike any of the cafe's we have been to- it was fantastic!
We cannot wait to return and will definitely stay in Emporio, at one of Theo's homes when we do!
(Thank you Theo!!)
