Stay Close to Oia, But Experience a Quieter Side of Santorini
When most people dream of Santorini, they imagine whitewashed houses, blue domes, beautiful sunsets and the famous streets of Oia.
But just a short walk from Oia lies Finikia, a traditional Santorini village that offers something increasingly difficult to find on the island: peace, authenticity and a sense of local life.
Pink Freud Villas is located here, in Finikia, and for me, this is one of the things that makes staying with us so special.
Close to Oia Without Staying in the Crowds
Oia is one of the most beautiful and photographed villages in the world, and it is absolutely worth experiencing.
From Pink Freud Villas, you can walk to Oia and enjoy its boutiques, restaurants, galleries, famous blue domes and sunset views.
But at the end of the day, you can leave the crowds behind and return to the quieter atmosphere of Finikia.
It gives you the best of both worlds: easy access to Oia combined with the privacy and calm of a traditional village.
Discover Finikia on Foot
Finikia is a wonderful place to explore slowly.
Walk through its narrow pedestrian paths, discover traditional cave houses and small churches, and stop for dinner at one of the local restaurants.
There are restaurants and a mini market within walking distance of Pink Freud Villas, so you do not necessarily need to get into a car every time you want to have dinner or pick up something for the villa.
It is a simple detail, but one that makes a holiday much more relaxing.
Space and Privacy
Santorini can be busy, particularly during the summer months.
Having your own private space to return to can make a significant difference to your experience of the island.
At Pink Freud Villas, our guests can relax by their private pool, enjoy the sea and sunset views, have breakfast on their terrace or simply spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing.
Our villas are fully equipped, including kitchens, making them comfortable not only for a short holiday but also for guests who would like to stay longer and experience Santorini at a slower pace.
Explore More Than Oia
Santorini has so much more to discover.
Spend a day sailing around the caldera, swim at one of the island’s beaches, visit a winery, explore traditional villages, take the beautiful hike between Oia and Fira or enjoy a meal somewhere you might never have discovered on your own.
I am always happy to share my personal recommendations and help arrange trusted local experiences according to what you enjoy.
For couples and families who would like to make their stay more meaningful, we can also arrange bonding experiences and private Relationship Wellness sessions before, during or after your stay.
Experience Santorini Your Own Way
There is no single right way to experience Santorini.
Some guests want to explore from morning until night. Others want privacy, a pool, good food and time together. Most want a little of both.
That is what I love about Finikia and Pink Freud Villas.
You can be close to everything, while still having a peaceful place that feels like your own.
I look forward to welcoming you to Santorini and helping you discover some of the places and experiences that make this island so special.
