Fava Eco Suites ★★★★

Immerse yourself in authentic Santorini life in Finikia, originally home to the farmers who worked the fields and vineyards. The characteristic whitewashed buildings with their low doors, rounded roofs and curved archways line the cobbled streets; in these very buildings, you'll find the beautiful and sensitively renovated Fava Eco Suites. The suites embrace the original architecture whilst balancing this with a modern sensibility alongside flourishes of traditional Cycladic décor.

Central to the ethos of the suites is a passion for all things eco, reflected in the materials and methods used in renovation and with careful consideration of the local society and community. You'll find the suites well-equipped, a perfect self-catering option, with the added feature of delicious inclusive breakfasts served in your suite. You'll also love your balcony or terrace, with its hot tub, from which you can relax and soak up the incredible views of the village and the sparkling sea.

This is a haven of serenity, and you'll have all the freedom in the world to explore this incredible island. It’s just a short walk from the beautiful Oia, famous for its out-of-this-world sunsets and proximity to the cadera, only 10km northwest of the island's capital of Fira and within easy reach of the beaches of the northeast coast, like Baxedes and Paradisos.

At the end of your day out exploring, return to Finikia and stroll the quiet streets with its prickly pear trees, blooming geraniums and sweet-smelling jasmine that flourish in the local's yards. Choose a traditional tavern to try tasty local dishes made from the fresh produce grown on the island's fertile soil and drink the local wines. As you look out at the horizon as the sunsets into the sea, you'll realise this magical island has captured your heart forever.
