"Ikies" is a complex of ten self-catering houses and studios, including a private pool, situated in the northern part of Santorini, on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Oia. Ikies is dramatically positioned on cliff-top terraces overlooking the Caldera, in the peaceful outskirts of Oia. Architecturally inspired by the local houses, which are carved out of pumice, they are designed to make the visitor feel at home. Each apartment has its own private balcony, affording spectacular views over the "caldera" and towards Oia itself. They offer privacy and a place to unwind. Each is furnished in the simple Cyclades style and respects local aesthetics, tradition and colour. The top terrace has a reception area for help and advice on any matter and a breakfast and cocktail terrace for those not wanting room service. A flight of steps leads down past the whitewashed suite terraces, decorated with terracotta pots of bright flowers, to the lowest terrace, which has a swimming pool. ACCOMODATION Each apartment has its own private balcony, affording spectacular views over the "caldera", and towards Oia and the sunset. The houses offer romantic privacy and are the ideal place to unwind. There are six [6] types of houses:
a. Honeymoon Suite: The “Winemaker’s House” has the most secluded terrace of all the houses with stunning views of the caldera and the sunset from the private outdoor Jacuzzi and the exterior use futon. The large living room leads into the cave bedroom with a king-size bed and an ensuite dressing area. This room has extra amenities such as candles, flowers, added bathroom soaps, and extra services such as champagne breakfast. b. Superior Suites: Each of the three [3] superior suites is comprised of two separate rooms, the bedroom with its king-size or queen-size bed and the living room in which the traditional sofas can comfortably be used as single-beds. Our suites can accommodate up to four guests and one of them up to six guests as it has two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. These houses have a private outdoor jacuzzi with a wooden deck area nestled in the corner of their private terrace and an exterior use futon.
c. Maisonettes: Each of our three [3] maisonettes is developed on two-levels. The queen-size bed on the loft offers a spectacular view onto the caldera through the loft window while the traditional sofas in the ground floor living room can be used as single beds. Our maisonettes can accommodate up to three or four persons.
d. Superior Studios: These two [2] houses have a queen-size bed, a cozy living or dinning area, and a fully equipped kitchenette. The traditional bathrooms offer all modern conveniences.
