We very much enjoyed our stay at Maison Faros! Rena arranged a porter to meet us to carry our bags and show us where the cave house was located. We had a little trouble finding him at first (there are no road names or addresses on the island), but once we did, we were thankful — the apartment is located down a pretty serious set of steps. However, that's what makes it so wonderful, too. The incredible view can't possibly be captured in pictures. It's very private and peaceful. Rena had left a bottle of wine in the fridge for us, and her housekeeper brought us a delicious breakfast cake our first morning there! We also had the lucky experience of taking Rena's kayaks out one evening at sunset. WOW! What a way to enjoy Santorini!

The beach below is rocky, so renting a car is a good idea if you want to spend any time at a beach on the island. However, you could enjoy your entire stay in Oia — it has many great things to offer, and the little cave of Maison Faros is one of them!
