Absolutely nothing.

Gorgeous, traditional property in a beautiful little village. Dimitra was so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend if you are looking to escape the crowds and overly touristy spots elsewhere on the island. You’ll have lots of feline friends too!

I honestly can't think of anything.

Dimitras' accommodation was one of the highlights of our stay. The actual cave house we stayed in was perfectly renovated but was simultaneously authentic to its past. There is nothing I can think of that was missing in the house, maybe only that the internet connection was a bit intermittent. We absolutely loved the front yard, spacious with several sitting spots perfect for different parts the the day, not to mention the terrace with deckchairs for winding down and sunset watching. There are a couple of cats that like hanging out in the yard too, very well-behaved and thankful for a few biscuits - hopefully they will be sterilized ;) Dimitra was on hand for anything we needed, she went over and above. We only stayed for 4 nights, but on the second day she topped up our orange juice supply and basic snacks too, which I was very surprised by!

Еxcellent magnificent location,especially off season. Dimitra is such a nice person! So helpful. Cave house equipped with all necessary things for a wonderful stay. Sunset and view on top of the roof - something from another dimension. Dont forget to bring food for a plenty furry little friend, who are waiting for You in the morning(9 cats) at once :)

Everything - could not fault it.. We feel like the luckiest people to have stay at Olyra. The review is long but so are the things to compliment so by all means keep reading but book it now - don’t wait! Firstly the hosts communication was impeccable, she offered to assist us with an airport transfer which was greatly appreciated. We were met in the Pyrgos square by a lovely young man who helped us with our bags the short walk to our accommodation and showed us the place. The stay included breakfast items which were greatly appreciated. As luck would have it they had an extreme wind event which caused a few hours without power. The host was checking on us straight away and continually. The highlight by far was the stunning property. It was comfortable and homely and absolutely breathtaking and traditional. The young man told us the house used to serve as the bakery for the village and it felt like living history we had the privilege to stay at. The walk through the town was charming and breathtaking, the cats were a charming addition and the minimart down the street had all essentials for us considering some restaurants were closed during off season. If we ever came back to Santorini it would be to Pyrgos and never leave! Thankyou.

It’s a bit of a climb, but the whole town is a bit of a climb, filled with winding streets, alleys and interesting nooks.

The cave house was charming, nicely appointed with pots, pans and food. It also had an easy to get to roof for stargazing.

Amazing host was so welcoming! So clean and well done rooms. Fantastic rooftop patio. Great town to be located in away from the busyness of Oia and Fira.

I liked everything about the property. It is clean. The hostess is very friendly. Everything about the place is charming - architecture, furniture and decor. The place is quiet and peaceful. Also, the courtyard and the terrace is a lovely place to have breakfast. The hostess provides traditional Greek juice, cookies, granola bars, rusk, bread, cheese, lunch meat, eggs, coffee and tea.

It was a bit of a trek over uneven cobblestone paths to get to the house. You cannot drive right up to it. But that’s what makes it more charming and away from crowds.

Olyra is adorable! We really felt like we traveled back in time, living as locals do. There was a rooftop deck as well with lovely views. Dimitra was so kind and hospitable!

great room, and fully equipped. Everything in perfect condition and tidy. Very quiet, but a few minutes from the center of the village and restaurants. Also, nice terrace to watch the sunset.

Absolutely nothing - apart from the fact that we only stayed for 2 nights...wish it could have been longer

Everything was just like the photos in the listing...just a lovely experience to stay in this wonderful cave house. Nice selection of items provided for breakfast each day too Dimitra was so helpful & friendly too - always available to ensure you have everything you need and all is OK

We had a lovely stay at Olyra Cave Houses. The calm, cool interior was full of character, clean and comfortable, with lovely beds and fabulous outdoor space. The house we had felt much bigger than it looks on the photos. Dimitra is a kind, helpful and friendly host who just loves the house and loves welcoming visitors. She answered all our queries incredibly quickly and helped us arrange transfers from the port and to the airport. Pyrgos is possibly my favourite place in Santorini, along with Oia, and was peaceful even in July. Olyra Cave Houses are in a perfect location, within a very short stroll of cafes and tavernas. We will definitely return!

Dimitri was an amazing, kind and wonderful hostess. She made our stay so comfortable. If you havent stayed in a cave, you must try this one. We arrived very late at night and Dimitri was there to welcome us. She made sure there was Tea, Coffee, bread, ham, Cheese.and other snacks Also everything was very near by.we are for sure coming back. Enjoy your stay :).

All perfect if you have a car or don't mind taking a bus to the beaches, Oia and Thyra. Always good to check your budget and plan your trip before booking anything. : )

The place is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The location is good and nice, but it's better when you have your own car. There are some buses, but it depends where you wanna go. We rented a car from the airport and dropped off at the port, so it was totally fine for us. There are some mini markets, shops and restaurants by walking distance. I very much recommend this place!

What a wonderful and delicious accommodation, everything was perfect. The owner is very friendly and always ready to help.

Pyrgos is beautiful but it can be difficult to get to if you don't want to wait for buses. Definitely recommend getting a shuttle to the airport as bus is unreliable.

The cave house is fabulous and the host is very helpful. Daily cleaning service was a surprise and breakfast/snacks was topped up daily. Also great view from the terrace!

It would be nice if softer pillows could be provided

Excellent location, great facilities, amazing host - Dimitra who is so helpful. This is a unique property that will not disappoint and is kept exceptionally clean.

I cannot put into words how much we loved and enjoyed this place! I will reccommend it to everyone, the place is perfect, cosy, clean (and cleaned daily!), Dimitra was very helpful in organizing transportation and all else. Pyrgos is definitely the best place on the entire island and perfect as a starting point for exploring Santorini. P.S. To anyone reading this review, make sure you try the breakfast platter at Brusco ;)

The stairs. There are many steps to get to the Olyra, however, majority of the places in Greece have stairs and steep pathways.

I loved everything about the Olyra. It's spacious and cozy. The cave style is great, especially in the bathroom. I liked the fact that the bedroom had a blue "balcony door and windows" that separated the sleep area from the living area. Very unique. Dimitra, the host, is an amazing lady. Super nice, very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

Dimitra is the perfect host! Staying in her house is a real treat. I adore such places, with hisotry, traditions. Dimitra welcomed us in the middle of the night even though our plane was late, she helped me with the luggage, she helped us book airport transport both ways. She made sure to leave the fridge filled which was a great surprise, and a great convinience. (Though be sure to stop by the bakery in the morning just a short walk away - really good bread!) Very clean! cleaned daily. You can just smell the fresh laundry. Dimitra, thank you so much for adding to the whole experience. I am possitive that if I come back - I will make sure your cave house is available. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else.

If you are a light sleeper, the other people’s activities (in your own group) may affect your sleep. There is no door in the cave house, it can’t be helped.

The character of a cave house and the fresh bread, eggs, ham and cheese brought in everyday.
