Saint Nicholas Church

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

All I can say is wow! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was super friendly, & the drinks & food were amazing. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our room, hanging by the pool, and going to the beach lounge that the hotel partners with. We will definitely be returning & can’t imagine staying anywhere else!

Oia never disappoints and this establishment is the epitome of luxury and the centre of a world of sunrises and sunsets in the heart of this blue dome ancient town. Simply stunning!
