Our stay at Aura Marina was amazing! The location was perfect, with a beautiful view that made the experience even more special. George, the host, was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and always happy to assist. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Aura Marina to others! ❤️
La vue et la petite piscine privée. Le logement très mignon. La disponibilité de Georges durant tout le séjour.
Le mobilier un peu anciens. Un petit coup de frais dans les douche serait bien
La casita es preciosa, la típica casa griega. Las vistas son impresionantes y se puede aparcar delante facilmente.
La ducha hay que mejorarla y la cocina es un poco escasa de utensilios, papel cocina no había etc.
L’accueil chaleureux et la réactivité du propriétaire ! Le lieu est magique !
Toilettes et salle de bain un peu usée
George ainsi que le reste du personnel ont été aimables, efficaces!! L'emplacement est un peu reculé, à 15 minutes de Fira et 30 de Oia. Vous trouverez tout ce qu'il vous faut en bas de ce pittoresque petit village (restaurants, mini-markets). Rien à redire sur la propreté, tout était parfait. Jolie vue sur la Caldera. Petite piscine perso très appréciable!! En somme, on recommande!!

Solo la parte esterna e la posizione
Tutto le foto non rispecchiano la struttura era sporca e datata e la notte non abbiamo dormito per la puzza il giorno dopo abbiamo dovuto cambiare albergo considerando la cifra che si paga sconsigliatissimo
Only the view
We recently stayed at this villa in Santorini and, while there were some positives, overall we felt the property was overpriced for what was provided. The view was absolutely beautiful and probably the best thing about the stay. However, the location was not very convenient. Public transport is difficult to access, and in our opinion, a car is essential if you stay here, especially when travelling with children. For a longer stay, particularly for a family with kids, we expected some basic facilities that were missing. There was no washing machine or dishwasher, no proper cooker, and not enough cooking pots and utensils to comfortably prepare meals. These are basic facilities we would expect when booking a villa for a longer stay. The bedroom also had very limited storage space, which made it difficult to organise our belongings. There was also a narrow/low section of the wall that we repeatedly hit our heads on when moving around the room, which was quite uncomfortable. We were surprised that the duvet was provided without a duvet cover, and we were unsure how frequently it was cleaned or changed between guests. The bathrooms are quite outdated and could really benefit from renovation. We also did not realise before arriving that the property uses salt water from the taps, so the tap water is not fresh water. Basic kitchen items such as salt, sugar and kitchen paper were also not provided. What made the price particularly disappointing was that a friend of ours was staying in a two-bedroom apartment elsewhere in Santorini for less money than we paid, and their stay even included a car as well as airport pick-up and drop-off. Comparing the two experiences, we felt that this property did not offer good value for the amount we paid. The property has great potential because of the fantastic view, but considering the price, we expected much better facilities, comfort and overall value.
Zona tranquila. S'arriba relativament ràpid a tot arreu de l'illa.
Massa apartat de Fira i Oia. A l'habitació inferior no arriba gens de senyal d'Internet, a la superior si. Hem estat els 5 dies a l'habitació inferior sense tenir senyal.
L’allotjament és molt bonic i la vista de la Caldera està molt bé. El personal és súper amable, el George ens va ajudar molt i ens va fer recomanacions increïbles!
Host super efficiente, posizione ottima
The host was amazing and the property was very nice. We booked every activity through them and it was very easy and cheap.
It was a bit far from most things, but if you have a car or want to take a taxi it is amazing.
Quiet place with beautiful view. Nearby lovely restaurant and supermarket. Danai is super friendly and helpful! Also the house keeper arranged cleaning the property to make everything clean and comfortable.
None
The apartment is great for a family, with its wonderful view and traditional decoration inside. The pool was cleaned every day, and it was a nice, relaxing area. George is a very good host, making sure everything is fine and giving good suggestions about restaurants and places to visit
The bed mattress needs to be changed, and a renovation would be nice, especially in the bathroom. Although it was mentioned that there was no cleaning service for the 3 nights we stayed, as a family, we would definitely appreciate at least some basic service.
Todo
Nada
Great value. Wonderful views. The private pool is beautiful.
Overall it felt outdated especially the bathrooms. The AC in the attic is right above the bed so it was blowing directly and it got chill.
The view on the caldera, the big terrace
Very bad cleaning, bathrooms are so dirty, bad smell, and so poorly maintained.
Nagyon jó elhelyezkedésű szállás, csodálatos kilátással az Égei-tengerre. Tiszta, csendes, könnyen megközelíthető. Nagyon kedves, segítőkész személyzet.
A tetőter belmagassága kicsi,
The facilities were really good
The host was always very responsive and extremely helpful.. The accommodation was clean. The location was great and the view was spectacular.
Nothing
the appartment was exactly as described. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.
each appartment had a small private pool. I would have preferred a larger, common pool.
Adembenemend uitzicht en fijn klein zwembad. Geweldige ontvangst door de lokale host. En flexibel in vertrektijd.
Wat gedateerd interieur en beperkte uitrusting in de keuken.
La vue, la piscine privative, l'emplacement près du village
Odeur sanitaire (un siphon manquait dans la salle de bain)
Enjoyed my stay.
It's a little remote and far out from the centre otherwise it really was a great stay.
Aussieht
ungewöhnliche Geruch
Quieter than Fira and Oia, but for us a great family location. Red beach is walkable and easy to explore the island, George on reception is very friendly and helpful, he can arrange excursions and car hire - don't worry about telling him your, budget, he will see what he can do. We had a 3 dbl bed apt & you get a lot of space, more than I expected and a nice private pool (not just a plunge pool) and by Santorini (caldera side) standard, it is a reasonable price.
Θέα....ο υπεύθυνος πολύ ευγενικός....
Very nice views and facilities, with private pool and town nearby.
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento fantastico e l'esperienza è stata impeccabile. La struttura è bellissima, situata in una zona molto tranquilla e perfetta per il relax, l'ideale se si ha un'auto a disposizione per girare l'isola. La casa si sviluppa su 3 livelli ed è dotata di aria condizionata. La pulizia a metà settimana è stata un servizio utilissimo e molto apprezzato. Un ringraziamento speciale va a George, super gentile, accogliente e incredibilmente disponibile: ci ha permesso sia di fare il check-in anticipato rispetto all'orario previsto, sia un check-out posticipato senza alcun problema. Cose super belle: - Piscina privata e ampio spazio esterno per mangiare all'aperto, con una vista spettacolare sulla piscina e sulla caldera. - Cucina attrezzata con tutto l'occorrente. - Spazi perfetti per i gruppi: l'appartamento da 5 persone dispone di due bagni comodissimi.
Piccoli dettagli che non rovinano il soggiorno: la cucina ha due fornelli elettrici e non sono presenti lavastoviglie e lavatrice, ma ci si organizza e si fa tranquillamente tutto lo stesso.
O locatie minunata si proprietarul, Geoerge, foarte ospitalier, dornic sa ajute cu tot ce este nevoie, itinerarii, locuri de vazut, ponturi. In apartament gasesti tot ce ai nevoie pentru un sejur reusit, iar piscina si privelistea sunt superbe.. Multumim George pentru gazduire!
The terrace, the swimming pool and the views of La Caldera were spectacular and were definitely the highlight of our stay. The apartment is spacious, spread over three levels, and overall it was comfortable and well maintained. We really enjoyed the outdoor areas and the peaceful atmosphere. George was very attentive and kind at all times, which we really appreciated and made the stay even more pleasant.
The kitchen could be better equipped. Although I already knew there was no oven, there was only a microwave and two portable induction hobs, which made cooking quite limited. I also missed having a few basic kitchen essentials, such as a small amount of olive oil, vinegar, sugar and some kitchen paper. There was only salt and one bottle of drinking water, as the tap water is not drinkable. For guests staying only two or three days, having these small essentials available is a thoughtful touch and avoids having to buy full bottles or packages that will hardly be used.
La vue sur la caldera et le village très calme et accueillant , l appartement avec petite piscine un vrai bonheur , merci à George pour votre accueil chaleureux
Las vistas , la limpieza , la comodidad y el ambiente de paz es único , el personal excelente, enamorada de este lugar ❤️
The apartment was gorgeous, lovely and cool in the hot weather, with a beautiful terrace area and private pool. We were pleasantly surprised there were 2 bathrooms in the 2 bedroom apartment. The location is stunning, with views of the caldera, and a mini market just minutes walk down the road for supplies. George was an absolute superstar, he was so welcoming when we arrived, and was at our beck and call the whole trip, easily reachable by WhatsApp, he would sort us taxis at the drop of a hat, and generally just nothing seemed too much trouble for him. The apartment was great value for money, overall we are so so happy with our stay, and will definitely be back! Thanks so much to George and team!
Nothing! Everything was spot on!
la vue ,la pisicine et l'accueil superbe de George
View, space, pool, comfort, peace, staff, clean, facilities
Suited our group perfectly
Tutto!
Un po lontana dal centro ma forse anche meglio
- L'emplacement au calme mais proche d'un axe principal pour rejoindre rapidement les principales villes. - La (petite) piscine privative. - Le personnel d'accueil. - La propreté.
- L'absence de lave vaisselle, de machine à café, de machine à laver, d'étendoire pour le linge, de séchoir pour la vaisselle faite à la main... Tous ces équipements étaient présents dans les 2 autres logements que nous avons eu lors de notre voyage en Grèce. - L'ancienneté des équipements : les frigos qui sont bruyants, la douche qui fuit, la chasse d'eau qui se bloque...
The host was absolutely amazing. They even helped us to get a cake and organized a surprise birthday for my friend, rent a car and anything else we needed during our stay
Booking said that the location is great, so we were hoping to be able to walk or bus everywhere, but you actually need a car to access to move around that region.
Emplacement incroyable, face à la caldeira. Piscine privée et logement très confortable
perfect location amazing views spacious inside

Very kind and wonderful host, breathtakingly beautiful property. It was a bucket-list experience. Plus very dog-friendly for which we are very grateful. The village is also beautiful.
Everything was perfect, my only recommendation would be for any future travelers to keep in mind that that the house is on a hill and you may want a car if you want to move around easier.
Sehr schöne Lage mit direktem Blick auf die Caldera.Es handelt sich um ein Reihenhaus mit drei Stockwerken mit zwei Schlafzimmern und einer schönen Terasse mit Planschbecken.Akrotiri ist ein sehr schönes kleines Dorf und ruhig ,allerdings sehr weit entfernt von Thira.
Wir haben 250 Euro am Tag bezahlt und dafür einen gewissen Komfort erwartet.Das war leider nicht der Fall.Die Küche eine Katastrophe .Kein richtiger Herd,keine Geschirrspülmaschine,keine Waschmaschine,a Ein kleiner,antiker Kühlschrank.,sehr wenig Besteck.Wir waren zu zweit,aber eine Familie wäre aufgeschmissen.Kochen geht nicht.Aber man mietet ja ein Haus ,weil man mal zu Hause essen möchte.
Elskede at der var så roligt og med den smukkeste udsigt
Køleskabet var meget småt og vi var kun 3. Men ellers ingenting dårligt
De ruimte, het terras en de vriendelijke manager
Niets
Sehr schön Lage. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.
The apartment was really excellent. Enough spaces for 8 of us, a nice Caldera view . Also the kitchen was fully equipped with basic utensils that really helped to prepare foods . George was always available for any help even at 11:00 pm
May be no lock at the bathroom . 😀😀
Everything was perfect! The property was beautiful, very clean, comfortable, and in a great location. George and staff were extremely kind, friendly, and helpful during our whole stay. We felt very welcome and truly enjoyed our time here.
Nothing at all. everything was excellent
La vue avec la piscine
Manque de produits d'entretien et cuisine peu équipée pour se préparer à manger
Muy linda la casa, hermosa vista. Muy agradable y limpia, muy amables
LA PISCINA DEL APARTAMENTO
A LOS PIES LA CAMA DE MATRIMONIO DEL PISO SUPERIOR HAY UN ESCALON DE 40 cm. Uno de los ocupantes al levantarse ,por la noche para ir al lavabo, cayo y tubo un traumatismo en la cara. El apartamento tiene tres niveles y todo son escaleras. No es apto para personas jubiladas(por la edad) Muy mal situado.Para comer o comprar algo de comida tienes que pedir un taxi
Great view Helpful staff - helped arrange the car rental for us Short walk to the village (restaurants and grocery store) Close to the red Beach (35 min walk) Great location that's quieter than Oia and Fiora but a short drive away. Cool to sleep in a typical Santorini home
El alojamiento está bien ubicado y tiene buenas vistas. El personal es amable
La limpieza es muy deficiente, el alojamiento no estaba en condiciones. El baño lleno de moho tuvimos que solicitar limpieza y amablemente la realizaron, aun así las sábanas sucias con cabellos. La cocina muy sucia, las toallas olían mal. El agua de la ducha huele a pozo de baño.
Aura Marina Apartments sits a stones throw away from the beautiful village centre of Akrotiri. The location is definitely the best point about this property. Outside the hustle and bustle of Oia and Fira, but still located near enough amenities to keep you going for a stunning week. It's our second time visiting this stunning island, having stayed more central the last time we opted for a more scenic location this time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Danai, the host, is on call whenever you need her. We asked for recommendations for restaurants, mainly a place to try a proper homemade moussaka, and she delivered on her recommendation. The check-in and check out process was smooth and quick. Would definitely recommend a stay at Aura to anyone wanting a holiday in Santorini!!
Nothing!
Wszystko było super !
Wszystko , profesjonalizm i miła obsługa .
The owner was super friendly and helpful. The place was clean and very comfortable I really enjoyed staying here it was a peaceful location, not much noice. The bed’s were comfortable to sleep (that’s very important for me) the room had a nice kitchen were we could make our own breakfast with a nice balcony with beautiful views over Santorini, definitely recommend!!
Muy buenas vistas, alojamiento muy amplio y bien equipado. El anfitrión muy amable.
Todo me gustó
the views, the spacy apartment, the pool, the accessibility.
Außergewöhnlich freundlicher Kontakt. Danai und George leben Kundenorientierung und kommunizieren proaktiv und helfen sofort bei Anliegen. Sehr saubere Anlage, schöne Architektur, ruhige Lage und schöne Aussicht.
Die Bilder sind sehr vorteilhaft aufgenommen. Ich war anfangs von der Realität etwas enttäuscht. Auch wäre ein Lageplan der Appartements, die in zwei Reihen am Berg angeordnet sind und sich auch hinsichtlich Zugang zum Pool unterscheiden, vorab hilfreich für die Auswahl. Die privaten Tauchbecken sind an sich eine gute Idee, aber jedes hat eine große, brummende Reinigungsanlage und so brummt es draußen von allen Seiten. Neben und oberhalb der Anlage werden fleißig weitere Häuser gebaut. Der Baulärm hält sich zwar in Grenzen, aber es sollte in der Beschreibung zumindest darauf hingewiesen werden. Während die Wohnung selbst fast neu wirkt, besteht in den Badezimmern dringend Handlungsbedarf. Insbesondere die beiden Duschen sind stark abgenutzt, bei einer ließ sich nur ein Teil der Tür schließen, bei beiden war die Armatur kaputt. Man konnte zwar duschen, aber für den relativ hohen Preis pro Nacht sollte ein Ersatz drin liegen…
Cute little villa close to the city center (walkable) the ruins and black beach. Bus was easy to catch from the city center. Manager was very friendly and responsive to all questions.
WiFi was virtually non existent which made coordinating plans difficult.
The fantastic view!!! 🙂
Property is excellent!!!
La vue et le logement

L'accueil et les échanges avec Gorge, l'emplacement pour les familles, la vue sur la Caldera.
Vue magnifique et accueil chaleureux. Appartement spacieux et confortable, conforme à la description.
La météo (on n'a pas eu de chance...)
Logement tout à fait conforme aux photos. Piscine très sympa, logement spacieux. Personnel très sympathique.
Bel Appartement , bien conçu et original avec une vue imprenable sur la Caldeira. Hôte très gentil et réactif.
L'absence de lave- vaisselle. Pour une grande famille c'est dommage. L'équipement un peu juste pour les lits. Nous avons eu un peu froid la nuit mais sans doute la température extérieure était elle exceptionnelle à Santorin pour un mois d'Avril?
The location of the apartment is amazing, the views are breathtaking. Rooms were cozy
There were water problem at the apartment
Very nice caldera edge view! Nice rooms.
Nice space and comfortable and interesting interior.
Beds were comfy, facilities were as described, was a great stay for myself and my friends whilst visiting for a wedding. We weren't far from the town which has a bus stop into Thira but Taxi's were also available. The mini mart was 3 mins walk which was also very useful
Unfortunately our boiler broke, but the staff were so kind and had it replaced/fixed within 12 hours and had housekeeping clear everything for us, so it really wasn't any trouble to us.
The host was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. He checked in several times via message to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. He recommended plenty of places and activities, and also helped us with renting a quad bike. He responded to messages within minutes. Once again, we would like to thank George for his kindness.
Very nice view to the sea. Good pool. Nice people and very friendly and respectful.
George from reception was very welcoming and on landing I revieved a WhatsApp message to welcome my family to Santorini with directions to the apartment and that he would be there to meet me. Also, George gave directions and recommendations to local shops and restaurants, but also if we wanted to travel to the other side of the Island. The apartment was cleaned every third day with fresh sheets and towels provided. The location was perfect for us as a family, as the views were stunning and was very quiet. However, we did rent a car and would not have managed without one. Thank you George for making us feel so welcome and booking a taxi ahead of our arrival for a family wedding and for all the information you provided.
Beautiful view nice staff and great recommendations from the host
I liked everything
Breathtaking location, views were spectacular. Bakery and supermarket close by. Staff were on site on our arrival and explained everything very clearly.
We were a large group so we needed more crockery. It was also a bit cooler in October so a few extra duvets would have been handy.
Beautiful property.Lovely views & location.
Nothing as such.Everything was perfect.
The view is amazing and the size of property was very good for the 4 of us, the property had all the facilities you need.
Nothing
The location is unbeatable. The view from the rooms are to die for. The plunge pool for every apartment is a very nice touch, but since it was cold we could not make use of it.
The appliances are a little old. Although the location is superb in terms of the view, it is not close to restaurants or any touristy places. You need to have a car.
Limpio y agrable. Personal muy atento.
No hay bastante material para cocinar. Piscina muy pequeña (en las fotos parece más grande) y fría. Tuvimos la mala suerte de tener vecinos muy ruidosos.
Estancia perfecta, George fue muy atento y amable en todo momento. Todo limpio y ordenado, amplio para familias, lo recomiendo
Le calme et l’espace d l’appartement.
La vue gâchée par une maison en face et le manque d’équipement dans la cuisine pas de machine à café sauf une datant du siècle dernier.
Me encantó el lugar, la atención del personal.
Hubo un inconveniente con la calentadora eléctrica de agua, pero nada que no se pudiera resolver
Danai und George waren super nett und zuvorkommend, stets ansprechbar, haben die Kommunikation gesucht. Sie waren offen und hilfsbereit. Die Verzögerung unserer Anreise in die späten Abendstunden war kein Problem. Im ersten Gespräch hat Danai uns ausführlich die Insel erklärt und viele Tipps gegeben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wollen gerne wiederkommen!
Leider entsprach die Ausstattung der Küche nicht unseren Erwartungen (kein Herd sondern elektrische Herdplatten, stumpfe Messer, Wasserkocher schwer zu öffnen).
נוף מהמם. שכונה שקטה. בעלי בית מסבירי פנים מאד. חדרי שינה גדולים. 2 מקלחות ומגבות. ניתנו מגבות.לבריכה. חניה קרובה לדירה. בעלי הבית נחמדים מאד ומסבירי פנים.
החדר שניתן לנו לא היה מספיק גדול ל5 כדי לשבת לאכול בבית. כמשפחה שאוהבת לאכול בבית ולבשל המטבח היה לא מספק וקטן מאד. לא היו מספיק כסאות ישיבה לשולחן האוכל הכבד. לא היה מתקן לייבוש כביסה. הבריכה לא מחוממת אז באוקטובר לא ממש קל להיכנס אליה.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aura Marina..the house was fabulous - very spacious with comfortable beds. The best part was enjoying our morning coffee in the sun on the terrace, savoring the peace away from the crowds and the beautiful views. Would definitely love to return one day.
Easy, met by the host! Prompt response to text messages from host. Great view of Santorini!
The welcoming was so warm from Danai, she was so kind. Explaining a bit about the island history and the do and don'ts on the island. She made our stay super easy. She arranged a pick up from the harbour and arranged the car rental. Loved it! The view was amazing from the appartment, all utilities were there, towels, bedsheets. Location was superb, and easy parking. All amazing!
