Canaves Oia suites - romance![]() The hotel
Canaves Oia is a luxurious boutique resort group located in Oia on the famous island of Santorini, Greece. 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 a volcanic eruption, which created a large crater (or caldera in Greek). The combination of the picturesque, white and blue coloured towns, set on the cliffs above the ocean, with the remaining of the crater and the blue ocean, made Santorini famous as one of the most romantic destinations in Europe. In the village of Oia, located on the northwestern tip of the island, Canaves Oia enjoys one of the best locations of the entire island. The 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 quickly, and the two rooms became eighteen in just a matter of time. Canaves Oia Hotel 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. In 2017, a third property, Canaves Oia Sunday Suites, followed. Moreover, in 2018, Epitome by Canaves Oia saw the daylight, a remarkable hotel located near the fishing village Ammoudi.
