Location & area
The tranquil village of Finikia is located on the north part of Santorini, 10 kilometers northwest of the capital Fira, very close to Oia settlement. The village stands out for the colorful buildings that remind a painting and compose an incredible setting. It overlooks green vineyards and the neighboring islands. From Finikia you can explore the appealing beaches of the northeast coast, like Baxedes and Paradisos.
Contrary to the architecture of Oia, where the houses are built on the caldera owing a wild beauty, the houses in Finikia are in harmony and consist of delightful yards, stairs and interesting facades.

Elia 1968 was an amazing place to stay. We loved the cave style home. The area was lovely with restaurants nearby and a beautiful view of the ocean. We could easily walk to Oia. Most of all, the owner , Katherina, helped us so much. She greeted us warmly and helped orient us to Santorini. She helped us arrange a boat tour and made restaurant suggestions for us. This is a beautiful place stay!
We stayed two nights at Elia's but wish we had more time. It was a great location, and the host, Katerina was incredible. She provided great food recommendations and even took the time to arrange us taxis as well as a catamaran tour. I'd definitely stay there again and will be passing it along to friends/family.
We spent 4 nights here and loved it! The location is perfect. It’s located in Finikia, which has so much character and charm. Very short walk to Oia. There are authentic restaurants, a little market, parking lot, and car rental right nearby. We stayed in the upper room with the little pool. It was perfect with a stunning view. Everything was clean and all of the staff were amazing.
Lovely cave house. There is ample space to move around, relax outside and enjoy the immersion pool. The location is good in Finikia - away from the crowds of Oia but still walkable. You can also catch the bus nearby that takes you to Fira. Of noteworthy mention is the host, Katarina. She is very attentive and helped us enormously. She gave excellent recommendations and always topped up the coffee for the coffee machine. Thank you Katarina, you made our stay very special.
