This was in a most beautiful Oia town of Santornini. We decided to pay the hefty rent to secure this place, and it was more beautiful than photos can show.

We were there for 4 nights, first week of May, and it was a little chilly. However, the sun came out almost everyday, and it was still nice to walk around. We were about 35 cobblestone steps down to the rental, and it was not that easy for older folk. However, Christos had arranged for our luggage to be transported down and up from the rental, so that was easy. We just had to make a trek up the steps each morning. Thankfully, we didn't have to go down further as it was a manageable 35 steps.

The jacuzzi was a very nice touch, and we wished the weather was warmer to enjoy it. Apparently none of the jacuzzis on the island is heated since it is not usually used so early in the season. I imagine it would be very nice to sit in it when it gets very hot in July or August.

There are a lot of small grocery stores to buy water, fruit and other items if needed. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area, with Floga and Skala restaurant just up the steps before the main road. We also found a very good Thai restaurant there, called Paradox, where they served very authentic Tom Yum Koong. We loved it so much we went there twice. The Thai restaurant was about 5mins from the rental.

We did not intend to rent a car at all during our 4 nights there, but found the bus system to be rather difficult to get to the far reaches of the island. In order to get anywhere, you would have to take the bus from Oia (every 30mins) to Fira (main central town). Then from there, pick up another bus to the other attractions. If you want to go to another location that same day, you would have to go back to Fira, thereby backtracking, and wasting a lot of time waiting. We spent 50mins waiting one day. So on the 3rd day, we decided to rent a car for only 30 euros for a manual, and 10 euros for petrol/gas the whole day. This allowed us to visit all the sites in a shorter time and not wait for the buses.

The cave house itself was very delightful. Fully equipped kitchen, adequate bathrooms, although the shower area has no splash guard, so the floor gets quite wet. It was very clean and well-maintained. The showers had good pressure and temperature. The cave houses are quite short, so anyone over 5 ft 7" would have to duck a little to get past the doors. It was gorgeous to sit out on the deck on the second level, and relax.

Christos was very nice to get us all the transfers needed, and helped print our boarding passes. Thanks!
