A good shop within 5 minutes walk that had coffee/sandwiches for good price. Unfortunately, local restaurants were closed (out of season) but all very close walking distance. Oia was a easy 15-20 minute walk. The communication and recommendations from Vassilis was excellent, I’d highly recommend to anyone!

Leur gentillesse et hospitalité a largement contribué à rendre notre séjour si agréable.
Du côté du logement, c'est une grotte typique de la région et il dispose de tout le nécessaire.
L'emplacement est idéal car à peine à 10 minutes à pied du centre d'Oia et le village est très mignon et calme. De plus les 3 restaurants aux alentours sont excellents.
Nous recommandons fortement si vous souhaitez passer une semaine dans un lieu typique et à 2 pas du coucher de soleil le plus connu de Santorin!
Merci encore à Artemis et Vassilis pour leur accueil 🙂

The location is perfect, with fantastic restaurants within walking distance and the charming town of Oia just a short stroll away. We loved exploring the local culture and cuisine.
The cave house itself was a delight. It had all the amenities we needed, and its distinctive design added a touch of magic to our stay. It was not only comfortable but also a memorable part of our Santorini adventure.
Artemis's recommendations for local attractions and activities were spot-on. We felt like we truly experienced the best of Santorini, thanks to her insights.
The only minor downside was the pricey laundry services, but it didn't overshadow our overall fantastic experience.

AMAZING!!! This was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Artemis is the best host. Before we arrived she helped us to arrange a car to pick us up... read more from the airport and was there to walk us to the Airbnb when we arrived late due to a delayed flight, she also helped us to book a sunset cruise (do this before you arrive they sell out!). Her mother lives right next door and she delivered yummy fresh Greek food/snacks all throughout our stay. Artemis also brought us breakfast one morning and it was delicious. The location is awesome, quick 10 min walk to the town of Oia. We were only there for two full days and it was the perfect place to stay, didn’t want to leave!

La casa es preciosa, tal y como describen y se ve en las fotos. Está perfectamente equipada, impecablemente limpia y ordenada, con una cómoda cama y mullidas toallas.
Y las tardes en su apacible patio nos han enamorado...
Finikia nos ha parecido una excelente elección,ya que está a menos de 10 minutos andando de Oía(por un fácil camino), pero al mismo tiempo con la tranquilidad de estar en un pueblo sin aglomeraciones. Además, los restaurantes del pueblo ( que están en la misma calle) son fantásticos!
Nuestro recuerdo de Santorini no sería tan maravilloso si los hubiéramos elegido!

Great place. Looked like the photos. We loved staying in the quiet Finikia but having easy access to Oia. There's a great breakfast place a few steps... read more from the house and 2 restaurants (but we didn't eat there). Also a convenience store very close.
Vassilis and Artemis were wonderful hosts. Arranged transport for us, met us at our car and walked us to the cave house. True Greek hospitality. They were always available but never intrusive.
The cave house was everything we wanted - traditional style with modern comforts. Hot water, AC, comfy bed. We were greeted with homemade cookies from Artemis mother who lives next door, as well as fresh tomatoes and apricots from the courtyard. A truly unique experience.
Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Artemis said they have 3 properties and one of them is for 6 people.
