Santo caves is a hidden gem in the old town of Akrothiri. The home gives us a feeling of calmness and connects us to the traditional cave architecture of the island. It has a outdoor area where you can watch the sunrise and just unwind in the evening. The place is 5 mins downhill to the Akrothiri town where you can find restaurants and a supermarket. The hike to Red beach was the highlight of this place.
We were worried that the home didnt have AC but we didn’t feel hot as the cave has a natural cooling and also has a fan which keeps you cool.
As the place is away from the popular crowded spots, we recommend you to rent a motorbike or scooter. Unfortunately we didn’t have our license but managed to commute via Bus and did a lot of walking.
Right from the day we arrived, Stravos arranged each and everything for us. The late night transfers to recommending hidden places of Santorini away from the crowd. He has an eye for detail and also provided constant communication with us via Phone or WhatsApp.
I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful home and will come again for sure.
