This property is tucked away in the village of Finikia. Expect to walk down winding cobblestone paths with high whitewashed walls to get to the local tavernas. It is about 20 minutes walk to Oia, where the more well known landmarks of Santorini are. You do need to be in walking shape, but it’s worth it for the peaceful rural feel. The view of vineyards, fields, the church, and the sea is spectacular when you wake up. The staff are really accomodating and sweet. I was sick one night and they made me lemon rice soup. A spiritual place.

A little out of the way, so be prepared to walk (about 5 minutes from the parking area), but very quiet with a lovely north view. You can get to Fira/Thira and Oia by walking.

We had a pleasant stay at Georgis Apartments. The hosts were very friendly and helped us carry our luggage to and from the apartments with their donkey. The apartment was clean and spacious. They left plenty of food for us in the refrigerator each night. Very satisfied with their customer service and highly recommend them.

Beautiful little apartments in a quiet area, the owners really make you feel at home, bringing breakfast and snacks and checking in on you to make sure you're enjoying your stay.

Perfect Stay
We arrived at JTR airport at 0800 and took the 20 min shuttle from the airport to Oia. It was 12€ pp and worth it compared to a 40-50€ taxi. The cab dropped us off at Foinikia parking lot and we were met by (who I believe is one of) the owner with their donkey to carry our bags. This was a pleasant surprise and a wonderful welcome. The walk back to the apartment takes between 5-10 minutes depending on your pace and the route is marked with blue arrows painted in the cobblestone (also very helpful). Reception brought us coffee and cake while we waited for our room. The owners are extremely helpful with maps and excursions. They also booked us a shuttle back to the airport for 35€ (it’s more expensive going back because there aren’t transfer shuttles like FROM the airport. It is only a 10 minute walk into Oia. I recommend walking to Mes Amis and walking through the terrace to get a good starting view. The owners brought us our breakfast for the next day to keep in the fridge. It was a sampler of several items, delicious juice, and even sandwiches for lunch! I saw the breakfast baskets for the next day and I believe the menu changes day to day. There’s a clean pool and the terrace views the sunset (without the Oia skyline, but still beautiful). The owners allowed us to hold our bags in the hotel and utilize the terrace for the remainder of our day cen after checking out at noon. They were more than accommodating and I highly recommend the apartments!!

The property seemed to be different that what was advertised. Only one woman working who wasn't friendly. They advertise that breakfast is included but that's a joke as there was NO COFFEE, some undercooked eggs, and some ONE STAR cake and soft bread. One banana for 2 people. When I complained to the woman working there about the coffee she pretended not to hear me. LOCALS DO NOT LIKE TOURISTS IN SANTORINI AS THEY HAVE SO MANY COMING DAILY INCLUDING 9K IN SHIPS so the friendliness isn't there. Mykonos is another story! I would NEVER recommend this place. Also we didn't know that you need to get a donkey to carry the suitcases. So heartbreaking for the poor animal who doesn't even get groomed.

Dear Guest, Regarding your comments, we are surprised about many things, like the fact that you find something different from what it is advertised, because it is the first time we hear something like this! Additional, our guests, have many, times expressed our kindness, willingness and our hospitality ! We can't forget also your comment about our donkey, which is an animal that we traditionaly use in Greek islands, to carry things and we are taking very good care of him according to the veterinary, we often visit! We are very sad about the comments you wrote and we believe that you exaggerate, but we definately respect them! Best regards, Yiannis – Reservations

Amazing place in the local village!
We loved our short stay at this cute little villa! Even though location is hard to find when you arrive, it gets very easy afterwards. Apartment was extremely clean with newly renovated bathroom and traditional greek windows. Breakfast was very tasty and very different from a standard boring breakfast you get elsewhere, it was homemade. Owner's wife is such sweet and helpful lady! Location is good, you get to feel real traditional setting unlike touristy Oia, and you can still walk to Oia in 15 min. Thanks for your hospitality and for the donkey, We will definitely be back!

Finikia village - charming and close to Oia.
Location more authentic, nice village, 15 minute walk to Oia (and you walk another 10 minutes to the end of Oia), much better value than Oia, George and staff are wonderful, pool small but offers respite from heat and eat at Meze Meze restaurant in the village (5 minute walk). Finikia does not offer caldera views (you can see the sea in the distance) but has charm. Up and down walking so be prepared.

Not uxurious but practical
If you want something luxurious in Santorini this is NOT the hotel for you. However if you want something affordable and at the same time clean to sleep the night because you will be out all day and night (like me and my husband) and will just be coming to the hotel to sleep, then this is perfect for you. It's clean and practical. The only negative thing is their pillows being extremely uncomfortable. They were so hard you feel you are sleeping on a rock lol.

Nice, relaxed apartment
Really nice place to stay, good value for money for those looking to visit Oia. The staff were very accommodating to us - they allowed us to check in early and helped organise rental of a quad-bike (highly recommended by the way). The room was very clean and breakfast for the next day was delivered the evening before which added to the convenience factor. The pool was enjoyable, but did not have a shallow end, so if you're less than 6 ft/1.8m you will find it a bit deep. The only "downside" we found was that the apartment is a bit of a walk from Oia - it's not far in terms of kilometers but was more challenging than we expected due to the strong August heat (30 degrees C) and an uneven path with no shade along the way. So if you're there in peak season, plan to bring a bottle of water with you whenever going between the apartment and the town.

Nice hotel, just what I needed for my stay in Oia.
I stayed in one of the rooms where it looked like a cave which made it super unique. Even though I didn't get the chance to swim, the pool and the nearby common areas are super nice. The staff were friendly when I checked-in and told us everything we needed to know about staying there. The only thing was it was a little far from the main area of Oia and not the easiest to find, but otherwise I had an enjoyable stay and definitely recommend it for any travellers willing to walk a little farther for a nice hotel.

Once you find it, the hotel is a gem
Located in a nice quiet and quaint neighborhood of Finika, just down the road from the famous Oia. It faces the sunsets, though does not face the caldera. The room was well set up and clean, with a private balcony and great view. Breakfast was delicious and wifi was fast. The only real issue was finding it- the hotels.com email did not have instructions other than the owner's phone number which was not working when we tried it. We ended up getting directions from the rental car agency: get to the Santorini Mou taverna just before you get to Oia, and call Georgis from there (he knows the taverna owner). He has painted blue arrows on the cobblestone streets leading to the hotel which helped us find our way back there each time. Really cute and in a quiet area close to the attractions of Oia.

Cute little place and great price.
These apartments are located in Finikia ( one stop before Oia) . Location wise a little remote from Fira( capital of Santorini) but there are buses every half hour to Fira till night 9/10 pm. The hosts are great and they pick up the luggage to the hotel from parking spot as it is a little walk. The rooms are great , they have a kitchen as well. Breakfast was decent as well. Price was the biggest plus as all hotels in Santorini are way expensive.

We enjoyed our two nights at Georgis place. Both Georgis and his wife are lovely. We were provided with free airport shuttle, breakfast and wifi. The apartments are about a 20 minute stroll to Oia and are away from the business of the town. We had a beach view and the room was nice and spacious. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to Oia.

Nice, out-of-the-way place, but impossible to find
The place was very quaint, very quiet, and with a fabulous breakfast. It was fun having our luggage carried in by donkey. But unless you are being picked up by the host at the airport, I would not recommend it. It is impossible to find. Far from the main road, in a warren of pedestrian alleyways, absolutely no signs at all directing you to the place, and the phone number listed by Expedia was wrong. We almost gave up and went to another place, even though we had prepaid for our room. So that part of it was a bad experience for us. After asking numerous people, we finally got lucky and made the connection. Once we got there, however, the place was fine. Just don't try it on your own.

From a friendly email asking about our free transfers to having our luggage transported by donkey and a spotlessly clean apartment, we could not have been happier with this place. Lovely location away from the bustle of Oia, but close enough to wander in for an evening- well enough lit for a night walk home too. Nothing was too much trouble. Would love to go back.

Close to Oia. Georgi will pick you up even at the airport since you cannot get to it by car. You can park close by and then walk the rest of the way (10-15 minutes up and down narrow streets). The donkey will carry your luggage. Quiet place and the sunset was beautiful. The personnel was very nice.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days. It was quite comfortable and we had our own little tanning/seating area. Pretty clean except for some ants here and there. The staff (Tatiana & Georgi) are amazing. They drove us to to/from airport&ferry port. And the breakfast is amazing! Love the food! Wifi connection is slightly spotty during the day but works! Quiet area (Finikia) with a couple restaurants near by (Santorini Moy & Potamos) and they are very very good! A decent walk everyday to and from Oia. (15-20 mins) Would def stay here again. :)
