Located in a quiet spot on the popular island of Santorini, you really can’t go wrong staying at Villa Roditris. Situated on the outskirts of Oia, you benefit from the serene atmosphere of the countryside, all whilst being only a 30-minute walk from the bustling streets of the town. Santorini has been a popular destination for families and friends for years, inviting tourists to explore the dramatic ocean views, breath-taking beaches, famous sunsets, traditional Grecian architecture and fabulous local wineries. Spread across the island there is a mix of traditional Grecian tavernas, fine-dining restaurants and international cuisine, offering something for everyone, and something different for every day of your holiday. During peak seasons, the towns can become busy with visitors, so staying in a quieter area is a great option!
Villa Roditris itself is located within the beautiful countryside, just a few minutes’ drive or a 30-minute walk from the popular town of Oia. The views from the villa sweep out across the vineyards with the blue of the sea visible on the horizon. There are three minimalist villas located together, all with their own privacy and views, yet if you do happen to be travelling in a larger group, you have the option to rent more than one of the properties. This peaceful setting is an escape from the hustle and bustle, perfect for those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life.
Oia is probably most well-known for it’s a sunset, casting the sky into a kaleidoscope of colours each evening! Although you will get a view from the villa, we highly recommend that you take yourself into the town, buying a local bottle of wine to share as you watch the last of the sun go down, soaking in the mystical colours that sweep through the sky. The town is formed by whitewashed houses carved into the rugged clifftops that shoot up out of the sea. The houses form a maze of local shops, restaurants, cafes and bars that you can amble around, enjoying the lively atmosphere as a contrast from the tranquillity of the villa. With supermarkets, bakeries and shops, everything you need can be found in Oia.
When staying at Villa Roditris, you are lucky enough to have a beach within a short walk of your front door. Located on the other side of the island from Oia, you can enjoy the sandy shores and refreshing sea each day. There are plenty more beaches to explore across the island, with black pebble beaches as well as a sandy coastline, so make sure you visit a few!
