Oskana and Elena were absolutely great. They offered good advice and made everything very simple. It was a delight staying here. Only regret was we didn't stay longer. The ocean view was unmatched and at the same time it allowed an amazing back drop of the city.

Beautiful scenery and very quiet during the Winter season. You'll be able to enjoy this beauty without all the crowd.

Lovely city with incredible views

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Well worth it's reputation but too many tourists make getting around quite hard. We couldn't get taxis unless pre-booked and the buses were over-crowded in a way I have never seen before. Santorini has become a victim of its own success.

5/5 - Excellent

Santorini in particular Fira and Oia is great place to be. Really enjoyed the place.
