Maria's Place - Adults Only

This really is a hidden gem ...The complex has 2 seperate accommodation areas.. we stayed the Unique Galini Oia , Adults only which has well layed out accommodation with a superb comfortable double bed and fridge. Maria's Place is linked and has larger apartments type layout. Anna our host was host so kind, friendly, warm and caring....and an encyclopedia of knowledge of where to visit and best places to eat.. Together with her hubby Kostas and attentive staff the premises are kept spotless. The breakfast is a superb layout of breads, croissants fresh fruit different cakes each day. The location is ideal...a 2 minute walk to the bus stop with a air conditioned coach service every 20 minutes or so which takes you firstly into Oia itself then drops off most passengers who visit for the day, then off to Fira about 15 minutes away. There is a small supermarket 50 yards from the bus stop which is cheaper than in the ones in Oia itself. There is a stunning sea view from the location and an abundance of walks close by. The Fira to Oia walk is a must.... The bus / coach services from Fira are easy to use and cheap. We did not need to hire a car even though we were there for a week as the island is small with superb and amazing places to visit such as Oia, Fira with its cable car and Kamiri ... Be aware of using the cable car if there are 3 or more cruise ships in fira as you could have a wait of an hour or 2 to get back up the hill side.. Anna thank you your warm hugs and your very kind words... you really do make the place an amazing place to stay..xx

Such a warm welcome from Anna from the moment we arrived. She gave us lots of really useful information on places to go, see and how to get around the island. The breakfast is very good, fresh and a nice selection of hot and cold food. The apartment was lovely, well equipped and kept incredibly clean throughout our stay. The pool area is nice and peaceful with plenty of sun beds. The pool is not heated, but very refreshing and welcome after being in the hot sun. The location of Maria’s Place is just perfect, a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of Oia and very close to some fabulous restaurants. We visited Meze Meze on two occasions, the food, atmosphere and service was exceptional and definitely worth a visit. Anna and Kostas are a great team and run a fabulous hotel. Would highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back again one day soon. Faye & John U.K.
