OUR REVIEW

Three minutes from the beginning of the marble pathway at Oia you enter the glistening white Katikies Hotel.
With two pools (there as usual many steps as at most of the hotels on the caldera), if you prefer fewer steps to a cool swim the nearest pool will do just fine!
Splendid views of the volcano and the sweep of the curved rim of the island of Santorini, with Oia village stretching like part of a quarter moon to the right, your room or suite which has every facility and comfort & is pristine and welcoming.

Your private terrace has a view you will always treasure, ripples on the sea, the shape of the volcano, the odd cruise ship ebbing its way into the harbour and those tremendous, memorable sunsets. Romance and tranquil rejuvenation. Staying at a small luxury hotel has its benefits ...including private and romantic secret dining areas which you can pre-book at the hotel. Breakfast is served at your suite, on the veranda. Of course if you prefer start the day with the first fresh orange juice, coffee or tea by the pool - that's fine too.

Feast. Each meal at the restaurant is a serenade to culinary pleasure. A drink by the pool is a moment to linger upon and treasure - you never want this to end and it never will, you have invested in yourself and loved ones a gift to remember for decades. Santorini is delivered on a platter and a food platter is available at whim, 24 hours a day.

Swim, sit, lounge or sunbathe some. Then take a walk around Oia village - plenty of fine dining to enjoy, cafes to pause at and shops with a better variety of gifts and things you might buy for yourself, things you are not so likely to find elsewhere.

You can watch another unmatched Santorini sunset from Katikies or join the people assembling for this nightly ritual over at the Oia castle ruins.
