Canaves Oia Epitome - Bohemian Dream
The hotel
Canaves Oia is a unique and world-famous hotel group located in Santorini, Greece. It consist out of several luxurious boutique resorts and offers accommodation, service and gastronomy of the highest standards. Santorini is one of the most spectacular islands in Greece – if not Europe – and is located about a 45 minutes flight from the country’s capital Athens. There are also many direct flights from all over the world to this wonderful island, famous for its white houses and blue chapels, perched dramatically on the island’s cliffs. The island got its unique shape because of volcanic eruptions, which created a large crater or caldera in Greek. The breath-taking natural landscape combined with the picturesque, white and blue coloured towns, set on the cliffs above the ocean, made Santorini famous as one of the most romantic destinations in Europe. The Canaves property was founded in 1985, when the Chaidemenos family transformed two 17th-century caves, formally used to store wine, into luxurious hotel rooms. Expansion of the hotel followed rapidly and the two rooms became eighteen in just a matter of time. Canaves Oia Hotel quickly gained a reputation and became an iconic destination for couples seeking for the ultimate romantic getaway. The second hotel, Canaves Oia Suites, opened its doors in 1995.
