Greece: Katikies Santorini, Oia

Santorini's Original Cliffside Icon

Suspended 300 feet above the Aegean on the cliffs of Oia, Katikies Santorini is the original property behind the Katikies name, often called Santorini's grande dame. Its cubist white cottages and connecting stone bridges set the template for the island's whitewashed, caldera-facing architecture, and every room and suite, from Double Rooms to the Master Suite with its own private plunge pool, opens onto a private veranda.

Three infinity pools, spread across different levels and each offering caldera views, anchor the property, one heated and two unheated. Dining runs through Botrini's Santorini, led by Greek-Italian chef Ettore Botrini, and the more casual Katikies Lower Deck Lounge. Katikies Spa completes the stay with a sauna, steam room, jet showers, and heated pools.
