Vrachia Studios and Apartments

Perched above the Aegean Sea on Baxedes beach, this boutique complex sits about 4 km from the postcard-perfect center of Oia, Santorini. Kouloumbos and Baxedes beaches and the quaint Kira Panagia church are within easy walking distance. Explore Oia Castle, Skaros Rock and Cape Columbo nearby, with Fira and the airport a short drive away.

A seven-unit hideaway opened in 2004, blending traditional decor with modern comforts. Studios and apartments offer a living/sleeping area with a double bed and sofa bed, a kitchenette with coffee machine, shower/WC and spacious balconies or a shared terrace with spectacular sea views. Non-smoking units are available and fresh food can be delivered daily so you can prepare breakfast in your own space.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings on private balconies. All rooms have air conditioning and basic modern conveniences. Reception runs 08:00–18:00 with telephone and fax. Daily cleaning and towel change plus linen twice weekly keep things tidy. Sunbeds and umbrellas are offered on Karras and Baxedes beaches in high season for an extra charge, and Koloumbos beach is about 1 km away.

Fresh provisions can be delivered daily so you can make breakfast in your studio or apartment. A cluster of nearby tavernas serves local Greek cuisine and seafood just steps away.
