Ikies Traditional houses
Santorini
Greece
Oia, Santorini
Popular theory holds that the Thera eruption which formed the island is the source of the legend of Atlantis. The picturesque location has been selected for scenes in Hollywood productions such as Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Happily, get lost in the narrow winding streets of the town as you weave between colourful rooftops of the stunningly white houses, generously dotted over the rugged landscape. Restaurants and attractions are nestled into niches carved into the caldera, overlooking the sea. Enjoy water sports on Perivolos beach and wine tasting at one of the many wineries around the island.
Located just outside the centre of the village, Ikies offers breath-taking views of the caldera, the village of Oia, and the sunset each evening. A selection of luxurious rooms with their own charm and personality make it easy to find one that suits your perfectly. The bright and generous suites are ideal for absolute relaxation or a romantic getaway; providing an ideal starting point to weave through the streets of the town and discover what treasures can be found. The nearby restaurants in Oia offer a choice ranging from delicious hand wrapped souvlaki to authentic Greek taverna and fresh fish; an ideal choice before unwinding in a private outdoor hot tub or simply laying back on the spacious terraces to soak up the last rays of the sun.
