A taxi transfer from the airport was organised for us at a cost of 30 Euro for 2. Upon arrival we were met by a lovely guy who grabbed the bags and headed off to our accommodation. Thankfully he was there as you would never find it without detailed instructions. The street area at Oia is chaotic. Then Maria met us and gave us a very comprehensive briefing on everything. Maria later assisted several times with answers to our questions and booked a yacht cruise for us.
A return taxi was booked for us and again a porter service was provided from the room to the taxi. Fabulous.
Now the accommodation. The view, the view, the view. Outstanding and that's what Oia is all about after all. Stunning vista of the Caldera from a full length balcony that covers the both sliding doors from the bedroom and small living area. Whilst it does get noisy if you leave the door open of a night you also look down upon the only pedestrian walkway that heaps of people use to walk through Oia. Great for a bit of people watching also. The height also offers privacy.
The apartment itself is nothing sensational and a little bit more like a small 2 room cabin with a small ensuite type bathroom. There is a small basic kitchen and 2 chair dining table. Comfy large queen size bed and most importantly both rooms have a split air conditioner which is critical for the daytime when we visited. No TV but that is no problem here. Whilst the price might seem high have a look at what some people pay at Oia for the Caldera views and your jaw will probably drop. You will also have your room serviced daily included in the cost.
You will not see the famed sunset from the room and I would not bother joining the masses pre sunset. Just book a table in one of the restaurants with rooftop sunset views and watch it while you dine. Fantastic.
