My husband and I stayed here last May.
We stayed in the fisherman's room. It was a lovely place and
lots of room.
The breakfast they gave you was amazing. Best yogurt and
honey ever-think I gained 10lbs from that.
Let me say the staff was utterley amazing especially

If you are looking for the most beautiful spot from which to view the most beautiful island in the world...this has to be it!

My husband and I were a bit nervous when we first decided to make all of our arrangements for our honeymoon to Greece. But then we found the TripAdvisor website, and quickly found glowing reviews of Ikies. After reading the reviews, and taking one look at the Ikies website, all of our concerns were gone! After hearing what others on this site had to say, we were eagerly anticipating our final destination in Greece--Oia, Santorni. What we could not have anticipated, however, is that Ikies far surpassed every expectation and truly defined our honeymoon.

We arrived on the island late in the afternoon, and by the time we arrived at Ikies it was nearing sunset. We were shown to our room, and were immediately speechless when we saw the view. We had seen many photos prior to our arrival, but none of them did justice to the panoramic view of the caldera and the entire town of Oia. We found a fantastic bottle of Greek White Wine awaiting us on the patio of the House of the Cook. We had only been in Santorini for a couple of hours, but as we sat watching the sunset and sipping our wine at Ikies, we already knew that we had made the perfect hotel choice for a perfect honeymoon!

Throughout the following 4 days at Ikies, our experience was equally memorable. Everything about our stay was perfect. We spent our first three nights staying in the House of the Cook, where we enjoyed the spacious room with lofted bedroom, 2 bathrooms (which made it easy to get ready in the morning), and a wonderfully private balcony. For our last night, we transferred to the House of the Boatman because we wanted to enjoy a private hot tub. The room was much smaller than the House of the Cook, but it didn't matter because we spent the entire evening on the patio eating dinner and sitting in the hot tub (which was refreshingly cool compared to the temperature outside). The Boatman's hottub had an absolutely unobstructed view and of all the Santorini sunsets we enjoyed, none could compare to the one we watched from that hot tub!

The food at Ikies was also amazing. Breakfast (it seems like an understatement to call it breakfast) was waiting for us on our patio each morning when we awoke--and it was always an amazing selection of fruits, breads and meats. On our final night we ordered dinner to be served on our patio. The Ikies dinner menu didn't have a large selection, but the food was fantastic--especially the cold cucumber soup. It was some of the best food we ate on the island. We would highly recommend enjoying dinner on your patio at least one night!

All in all, Oia was the PERFECT romantic honeymoon destination, and Ikies was the PERFECT romantic spot from which to enjoy it all!

I am writing this fom the bed at the Artisan's House at Ikies. We have not even left yet, but I feel compelled to say: WOWZERS!

All of the reviews below giving this place glowing reviews are true.
Eleni and Katerina are adorable and will make you feel like you are not in a hotel, but a guest in someone's home. Someone's otherworldly, magical, mindblowing home...

We want to live here, forever!

PS: When you come, be nice to Archie the cat (we named him Souv-LUCKY). He's the friendly grey one with the crooked tooth. We will miss him! (He likes feta and salami...in case you feel generous at breakfast time..). Or bring him some leftover souvlaki from Lotza's.
I attached a picture, so you will recognize him.

As a first-time traveller to Greece, was lucky enough to find the very best accomodation in the very best place in all of Santorini--the House of the Collector suite at Ikies.. Gorgeous, property, gorgeous view, gorgeous and most accomodating Hotel Manager,Eleni--the trifecta! Truly one of the best suites I've stayed in during my entire life in this, a magical place.. This suite is perfect for 2 couples travelling together.. Can't wait to go back!!
