Staying In Oia Luxury Villas, A Life Dream

For many, a trip to Santorini is a dream come true. Thousands of visitors from all over the world visit the island of Cyclades every year and admittedly its good reputation is mainly due to foreigners. The Greeks, having the classical reactionary mentality, often invoke in the discussions all the negatives that one could encounter on the island of Santorini.

Yes, anyone who loves the sea and wants to swim in clear blue waters and sunbathe on golden sand beaches, in Santorini will not be satisfied. The volcanic landscape forms the rocks of the whole island and the beaches look more like a space landscape than the classic Aegean.

But Santorini has Oia. Period. This traditional settlement hangs like a bunch of grapes from the caldera and similar you will not find in the world. The cave houses and the captain's houses, the oia luxury villas and the countless taverns and restaurants make the place unique. And all this to be surrounded by unobstructed views of the Aegean.

The truth is that the oia luxury villas have a unique architecture and provide high quality services. The prices are quite high for the standards not only of the rest of the island but also of the whole of Greece, but the experience of staying there is fantastic. Oia is a small settlement with less than 1000 permanent residents that during the summer period this number increases tenfold.

In my opinion Santorini is a place that all Greeks should visit at some point in their lives. Clearly their budget may not allow them to stay in one of the oia luxury villas but it is worth visiting a thousand of times.
