Let me start with the apartment. The place is absolutely wonderful – a definite cave-feel. It is very clean and well kept. Everything that was described works (AC, WiFi, TV, including the kitchen). Hot water in the very clean bathroom is abundant. The front is a perfect place for a romantic anytime. My wife and I spent 5 nights in Oia to relax and detached from the daily grind. Maria’s place provided a very warm and cozy haven. It is tucked just enough to be away from the main thoroughfare but accessible to everything (including the local market and bakery). The sunset viewing point is less than two minutes by foot. My wife and I totally enjoyed coming and going to the apartment because of the incredible setting that it is against, the beautiful and mesmerizing view of the caldera. We never met Maria but it felt she was there every step, being so responsive and concern about our stay and comfort. She arranged all of our transfers to and from the airport. We were met by Vasili (Maria’s assistant/porter) who led us to the apartment which could be a challenge to get to especially with all the luggage. This place dominates our memories of Oia. Love it!
