Marizan Caves & Villas

Perched at the highest spot of Oia, right on the edge of the Santorini Caldera with sweeping Aegean sea-views and iconic sunset outlooks. A short stroll from Oia Castle, the Blue Dome viewpoint and local museums; the center of Oia’s shops and wine bars is about a 5-minute walk. Santorini National Airport (JTR) is roughly 17.3 km away and Athinios Port about 14.6 miles.

Boutique cave villas carved into the rock — 8 air-conditioned rooms on different levels, each with a private furnished balcony facing the volcano and caldera. Rooms include refrigerators, basic kitchen equipment, satellite TV, bathrobes and daily maid service; sun beds and a shared 4-person hot tub add to the cliffside chill factor.

Pamper with onsite massages, rent bicycles to explore Oia, or relax on the veranda and wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Guests may use the nearby pool and pool bar complex next door. Note: the bar/lounge and hot tub are closed seasonally from November 16 to April 8.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Luggage storage and a safe-deposit box are available; a roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge (24-hour service). There is a free parking zone for guests traveling by car and the front desk is staffed limited hours.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. Wrap up the day with drinks at the bar/lounge or the pool bar next door, and step into Oia for local tavernas and wine bars serving classic island flavors.
