If you are looking for sweeping sea views, picturesque sandy beaches, breath-taking sunsets and beautiful Grecian architecture, then there is no better place than Santorini. Well-known as a popular tourist destination, in peak seasons the towns come alive, with bustling restaurants, bars and shops, all with beautiful views across the island. Even in peak times you can still find quiet corners to enjoy the tranquillity of this breath-taking place, with hidden gems spread over the island for you to find. Santorini is also popular due to the fabulous local wineries and fine-dining restaurants, adding a taste of luxury to your holiday, perfect for special occasions or holiday treats! There are also many traditional Greek tavernas, with relaxed atmospheres and family-friendly menus, perfect for a more relaxed meal!
Villa Assyrtiko sits in a quiet location, in the beautiful countryside surrounding Oia. As part of a trio of villas overlooking the vineyards and with views to the sea, this area feels like an escape from the busier tourist towns, yet it is near enough for you to enjoy the benefits of their amenities. If you are travelling as a large group you can rent more than one of the properties, although they all have their own privacy and charm, so renting just one as a family is perfect.
For your convenience, the villa is located just a 30-minute walk, or 3-minute drive from the centre of Oia. If you need a supermarket, shops, bakery or pharmacy, you will find everything you need in this charming town. Oia is famed for its breath-taking sunsets, partially visible from the villa itself, but the best view comes from the rooftop restaurants in the town, with the sky lit up with a myriad of colours as the sun sets on the horizon. As you amble towards the town, it can be easily identified, by the whitewashed houses carved into the rugged clifftops, forming a maze of local shops, restaurants, cafes and bars that you can spend hours winding your way around.
With a private swimming pool on the terrace and a beach within a short walk, there are plenty of swimming opportunities! Less than 15-minutes from your front doors you will find yourself walking along sandy shores, dipping into the sea to cool off on hot summer days. There are also more beautiful beaches that are just a short drive away, so make sure you explore a few during your stay.
