Scene
Private complex with stunning vistas
Originally two caves used to make wine passed down through the generations since 1894, this property is now a charming complex of traditional houses built in the style typical of Santorini Island. Staircases fashioned from volcanic rock lead between pristine whitewashed walls and pots of bristling succulents to a small, curve-roofed reception area guarded by a small pug. From just outside the lobby, the sea-view panorama is breathtaking and -- combined with the scent of wild bushes and salty sea breeze -- quite magical.
Location

Atrina Traditional Houses is situated on the top of the hillside town of Oia on the northwestern tip of Santorini Island. This location boasts some of the most impressive views of the island over the Aegean Sea with wonderful views of the caldera (a largely-submerged volcano). St. George Church is a two-minute walk from the complex which stands just off Oia's main central walkway. Santorini Airport is 12 miles away while the port of Athiniou is about 15 miles.
