Location & area
The tranquil village of Finikia is located on the north part of Santorini, 10 kilometers northwest of the capital Fira, very close to Oia settlement. The village stands out for the colorful buildings that remind a painting and compose an incredible setting. It overlooks green vineyards and the neighboring islands. From Finikia you can explore the appealing beaches of the northeast coast, like Baxedes and Paradisos.
Contrary to the architecture of Oia, where the houses are built on the caldera owing a wild beauty, the houses in Finikia are in harmony and consist of delightful yards, stairs and interesting facades.

A Blissful Retreat in Santorini – Highly Recommended! My recent 4-night stay at the Elysian Retreat in Santorini was an absolute delight, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and relaxing escape. From the moment we checked in, the staff's warmth and attentiveness were remarkable. We had initially booked a villa without a heated pool, but the lovely Imaan at reception suggested upgrading to a more private villa with a heated pool. While I was hesitant to spend extra, Imaan's persuasive recommendation, highlighting the benefits of a heated pool even on warmer days, proved to be absolutely spot on. She was so right – the weather was surprisingly cool at times, and the heated pool made all the difference, allowing us to enjoy a swim regardless of the temperature. It was money well spent! The location of Elysian Retreat is another major plus. It offers a peaceful sanctuary away from the bustling crowds, yet it's incredibly convenient, with Oia just a pleasant 15-20 minute walk away. This allowed us to enjoy both tranquility and easy access to the village's charm. The breakfast served at the resort was consistently delicious, offering a great start to our days. While the property still has some areas under construction, the overall aesthetic is already quite beautiful and well-maintained. A special shout-out must go to Imaan for her exceptional hospitality. Her kindness, friendliness, and genuine care truly enhanced our stay, and she deserves extra points for her outstanding service. Unfortunately, the last two days of our trip were affected by a dust storm, making the pool and outdoor areas unusable. However, Elysian Retreat quickly turned this setback into a highlight! We decided to get a couples massage, and it was simply wonderful. We left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. We also appreciated the restaurant recommendations provided by the resort. The food, both at the hotel and in the nearby village, was consistently excellent, and I'm now a huge fan of Greek salads! If I had to nitpick, my only minor complaints would be the limited wardrobe space in the room, which made it a bit challenging to store our clothes, and the somewhat low water pressure in the shower. However, these minor inconveniences were completely overshadowed by the incredible hospitality and the overall beauty and comfort of the Elysian Retreat. In summary, the Elysian Retreat offers an unforgettable experience in Santorini. Its beautiful setting, excellent amenities, delicious food, and, most importantly, its incredibly welcoming and attentive staff, make it a truly exceptional place to stay. I highly recommend it!
Our stay at Elysian Retreat in Santorini was absolutely unforgettable. We spent four nights in a beautifully designed, luxurious villa with a private pool and stunning views – pure desert vibes! Watching the breathtaking Santorini sunset directly from our pool was an experience we’ll never forget. Breakfast was à la carte and could even be served in our room, making mornings extra special. Room service and laundry service were excellent, and communication via WhatsApp was flawless and immediate. The location is perfect – Oia is within walking distance (about 30 minutes) if you enjoy a scenic stroll. The staff also helped us arrange activities – we went on a fantastic catamaran trip that was a highlight of our stay. Free parking was available, which made everything convenient. Everything about Elysian Retreat speaks of pure luxury, perfect service, and ultimate relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a high-end Santorini experience.
We stayed at Elysian Retreat for 5 days and absolutely loved it. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a peaceful getaway. The views were absolutely breathtaking — especially during sunset, which we could enjoy right from our private pool. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Yannis and Iman for going above and beyond to look after us — their hospitality made all the difference. And the lovely lady at breakfast (Unfortunately didn't get her name). Free parking is available, which is a big plus as you definitely need a car to get around. The local supermarket is just a 2-minute drive away, making it really convenient. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax in comfort with stunning views and top-notch service.
