Located close to the center of the village, the property offers magnificent views of the Caldera and Volcano. The relaxing yet exciting atmosphere is to die for.
The beauty of Oia is matchless. It is undoubtedly the best place to watch the sunset in Santorini. You can never get tired of watching Palaia and Nea Kameni islets glistening in the clear blue waters as the sun dips into the Aegean Sea. Oia also has the famous Ammoudi port, where you can enjoy freshly cooked seafood.
Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and wine houses serving delicious food and beverages are scattered throughout the village. There are also plenty of shops to buy stylish clothes, authentic artifacts, and souvenirs from.

The sunset view was just absolutely magical. Probably one of the best spot in Oira to enjoy the sunset. Its quiet, peaceful, uninterrupted and much better views that some of the most highly rated restaurants in Oira. You know the spot is a little hidden gem as there are people walking to the area just to enjoy the sunset. If you choose Captain John, forget the fancy restaurants and just order takeout or make use of the kitchen available and just make your own food and soak up the amazing view! The apartment itself was very clean and Christina was also lovely and so accommodating. Thank you for an amazing stay in Oira! The only thing that was a slight let down is that the outdoor tub is not heated. Which means we could only dip our feet in as it was too cold to use even in the day for us. Also some coffee/tea would make our stay even more enjoyable, although OJ, milk, some small snacks was provided.
Excellent place to stay, especially for a romantic getaway. Located on the cliff of the island, it has magnificent views of the white houses of Oia. In my opinion the location is excellent, as it's one of the last few sets of houses on that side of the island, so you can get all the good views, but without being right in the middle of the touristic area, so you can have more privacy. And it's just 10 minutes away from the centre of Oia. We were also very happy with the staff at Captain John, they were very friendly and helpful.
The view from our room was amazing. During the day and the evening - the sun sets over Oia and our room looked straight at it The room itself was very clean and spacious and had all the amenities we needed - Christine, the manager was very helpful and polite and ensured our stay was comfortable. The walk into Oia is about 5 minutes .... Santorini is a beautiful place to visit and Captain John's is an idyllic spot to admire it from ....
Loved everything about this place, especially the view from the spa. Joanna was a pleasure to deal with and is very accommodating.
