You absolutely can not go wrong with Theo's "Small Quiet Studio" in the impossibly picturesque town of Oia on Santorini. Yes, Santorini is a tourist Mecca. But its uncanny beauty is like nothing we had ever seen and its reputation is well-earned. Theo's small, rustic but very clean studio captures everything we wanted for our stay on Santorini. Oia, is definitely the town you want to stay in. It is simply stunning and in sharp contrast to Fira's hectic beach town feel.
Theo's place is just off the well-trod pedestrian spine that runs through town. It's a bit of a climb down to his spot, but very well worth it! You will be climbing down into the caldera for the most breathtaking and impressive view of Santorini's islands. We just could not get enough of that view! The studio feels like it is tucked into the cliff like a bird's nest and you will want to stay on the balcony and soak up every moment. Theo was there to greet us on arrival. He even had a porter on hand to help us with our luggage. He gave us a run down of where to find our basic needs - restaurants, supermarkets, and breakfast spots. He was available at any time for additional questions and he really made us feel welcome with his easy-going nature.
The calm of the evenings at the Quiet White Studio is indescribable. The lights begin to come on in other small houses on the cliff side as the sun sets and you really get a feel of how much like an intimate neighborhood Oia is, just a vertically-oriented one! We were sorry to leave after our 2-night stay. It wasn't nearly enough. Our brief stay on Santorini was the highlight of our Greek adventure and we would not have wanted to stay anywhere else.
