Olyra Traditional Cave Houses

Our four night stay in the cave house was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Our host Dimitra was very accommodating and always available by text. Great location and bus access to other villages. Plenty of restaurants and great food nearby. Great views and sunsets from our elevated rooftop. We absolutely loved this place and were sad to leave!

If there’s one place that truly stole our hearts during our entire Europe trip, it’s Olyra—a dreamy, traditional cave house tucked into the magical cliffs of Santorini. Out of all the accommodations we had across several countries, this was the BEST by far. From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like we were transported to another world—a happy, peaceful paradise carved in stone and bathed in golden light. The vibe? Absolutely magical. Think: soft, curved walls, local touches, and the kind of cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay forever. Every morning we’d wake up to stunning views, warm sunshine, and a calmness that just can’t be described—it has to be felt. And don’t even get us started on the sunsets! What truly made Olyra special was the owner—such a warm, kind, and welcoming soul who made us feel right at home from the start. Every detail of the place was thoughtfully crafted with love and care. If you’re headed to Santorini, stop searching—book Olyra now. It’s more than a place to stay—it’s a full-on Greek fairytale experience. We’ll be dreaming of it until we return. 💙

None. We will surely come back! We Highly recommend this place!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful traditional cave house. We went to Pyrgos specifically off-season for their Good Friday festivities. Usually, I go to Santorini towards the end of the season and stay in Perissa - which is by the beach and slightly better connected. However, Pyrgos off-season gives you a better idea of the traditional Santorini life as it once may have been. This accommodation is located very centrally in Pyrgos close to one of its iconic churches. It's roomy and comes with all the amenities you can ask for and more. Our host Dimitra has an attention to detail like no-one else. She even provided us with some basic food supplies, and gave us a present in the form of an Easter basket for the occasion. We loved every minute of our stay, and would certainly come back, should we visit the island again in the off-season. I'd give 6 stars if I could - it really was this good and exceptional!
