The two bedroom cave was great for the family and we all loved our private outdoor pool. Walking into town was a 2 minute walk to restaurants and 5 minute walk to all the shops. Host was great at arranging car pickups and reservations.

Overall it was good. May be little difficult to find. Walkable distance to the downtown and close to restaurants and a grocery store. You have to drive or have a taxi to reach beaches and Oia. I believe it’s family owned business and they were very nice and responsive.

This place is exactly as shown in the pictures. I’ve never slept better! The cave was cozy. We had sufficient hot water. The pool is upstairs above the apartment with a small seating area. The pool is small but the water was too cool due to temperatures. The area was great! Lots of shopping and dining options close by. Our host arranged our excursions and airport/SeaJet excursions. I definitely recommend !

It was a great experience. Room, pool, deck were clean and in excellent condition. Read some other comments about pool not being clean but for us it was cleaned a few times during our stay, and quite honestly didn’t really need it.
The hotel was a short walk to all the shops and restaraunts and the view of the caldera. There was a new restaraunt called Tholotos that was just up the hill from Aura, great food/view/value, had breakfast there 3 times.
It was very cool and interesting to be in a cave and you could really feel that it was a unique and different type of lodging and an experience to be there.
Some of the ceiling were a bit low, but that’s to be expected in a cave.

Excellent property and Enrik was great to work with. Some might feel claustrophobic in the smaller of the two rooms, but I thought it was quite cozy. The suite we were in had a small built in bed for a child. Overall, clean property and a cool ambience. Enrik booked transportation for us to and from the airport as well.

We chose this location due to the uniqueness of staying in a cave house. We weren't disappointed as it was quirky and comfortable. The bed were large and comfortable with a bathroom for each bedroom with rain shower head. The outside area was good with views out to sea and even though it is not on the main caldera it didn't disappoint. Our host was always available via phone or WhatsApp and he arranged our transfers and gave local recommendations. The room was cleaned every 2 days with clean towels and bedding. In summary week worth the visit and definitely a benefit being away from the more crowded areas of Fira.

One of the best hotels in Santorini. Great service and hospitality.

The owner couldn't have been nicer. He was there to greet us with wine and juice and snacks. He sat with me to explain the island and where we should go. He helped with transfers on the island. And when my daughter left her iPad in Santorini when we left, he arranged for it to get to us in Mykonos. He was wonderful and the accommodations were fabulous. I would absolutely recommend this location.

It was our best stay ever! The amenities were well designed and this place is one of its kind. It was a unique experience to stay in a cave with modern amenities. Lazaros, our host, made our stay and visit really stress free and showed us the best scenic spots on the island. We highly recommend this place and would certainly visit again! Thank you!!

My friends and I recently booked this place for our Greece Tour...The host Grigoris was an absolute star, even before we reached his place.
He responded promptly to the questions we asked, and even gave us a few pointers.. We were welcomed with warm, open hands and his family was absolutely amazing.
The place was to die for, spacious and very neat and in close proximity to everything. I would recommend this place at any given time.
Thank you for the hospitality, it was a pleasure staying at your place and thank you for everything and the ride to the airport.

Fantastic stay with a wonderful host! The suite was spacious, comfortable, and incredibly unique. The architecture was beautiful and nothing like we had ever seen before. Our hot tub also had an amazing sunrise view. Additionally, Grigoris and Natalie were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. From the moment we landed, they never ceased to look after all our needs as travelers and tourists. Furthermore, they provided great recommendations during our time in Santorini. Grigoris recommended spots and routes to get the best experiences and views without all of the tourist hustle and bustle. His restaurant recommendations were also some of the best meals we had on the island. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the island and truly cares about his customers. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family, and would definitely stay again!

This is excellent accommodation. It's unusual in that you will be sleeping in a cave. So naturally cool (there was no need for using the aircon), and with beautifully constructed showers and a small kitchen with a decent size fridge. Just lovely. It was quiet at night however it's just a five minute walk from the centre of bustling Fira. I must also say how wonderful the host Grigoris is. He welcomed us on arrival, checked in with us regularly and nothing was too much trouble. His personal recommendation of places to visit was perfect for our 4 nights stay. I highly recommend a stay at Aura Caves and we are looking forward to being there again ourselves.

A memorable hotel made better by a remarkable host who greeted us and took us on a short walking tour when we arrived to ensure we knew the layout of the town.

This is a long overdue review for this excellent spot, great location. Beautiful place , it was a surprise for my kids and i couldn't be happier with the results, just the look on their faces was priceless. The hosts were great, helped us with transportation from airport to hotel, our flight arrived very early and he was kind enough to take us to some beaches until check it time, gave us some tips and suggestions that we really appreciated.This was our first visit to Santorini and we had a blast. Thank you so much.

The experience of sleeping in a cave is one thing, but when you have hosts like Gregoris and Nikitas, it does not get any better.
From the moment we arrived from the ferry, we were welcomed with open arms. When we got to the property, my four friends and I were truly amazed by the design. All the rooms were very spacious, clean and luxurious. Throughout the rooms, some remaining parts of the cave were still visible and it gave a little description of what it was used for. Pretty cool. We also had our own jacuzzi up on the terrace, where we took panoramic pictures and relaxed overlooking the sea.
Both Gregoris and Nikitas made sure our stay was amazing. From all the recommendations that they gave, the little treats they surprised us with, and overall family hospitality we felt while we were there, really made our trip worthwhile.
The location is great, where it is only about 5 minute walk to the centre of Fira, which could not get any better since most of the nights we checked out the bars and nightlife there.
I will always recommend Aura Caves, THE place to stay in Santorini.
Thank you, Gregoris and Nikitas!
