I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with the Raki Cave. Our first impressions of the space literally took our breath away. It's lovely, cool and smartly decorated, immaculate and with all the features one could desire ( including updated plumbing!!). The cave comes with a spacious sitting room that was so welcoming and relaxing that we had no trouble giving up some time outside in beautiful santorini to sit and enjoy a glass of wine inside. The bedroom is well appointed, and the kitchen comes with a variety of useful tools and dishwear. The cave comes with daily cleaning service (!!!!) and a private outdoor seating area.

The location is perfect- a mere five minute walk to downtown and quite close to taxi and bus stands. There are some lovely vistas of the sea along the way and the area is safe and secure, important for two women traveli alone.

Finally, Foti and Ian are the most gracious hosts one could ask for!! Our first day Foti took time out of his day to walk us through town, pointing out taxi stands and fine restaurants. He was not only helpful to us, but kindly gave directions to two other groups of tourists lost along the way. He was always easily accessible and responded promptly, helping us discover great beaches and restaurants (try The Bone, a great night of dining based on his recommendation). He went above and beyond to help arrange our transport on our last day, and even took the time to help us with our rather oversized bags.

Truly this was a remarkable experience and really helped make our time in Santorini that much more memorable. I can't wait to come back and stay in the Cave again!!!
