Heliophos is an utterly charming complex of small houses and restored cave dwellings dug into the rock. Interiors are done in the simple, local style, but appointed with heaps of artistic flair. Owner Sophia Adamopoulou is a passionate traveller, who has gathered a stunning collection of old bits and pieces from all over. An eclectic mix of furniture, objects and artwork give the houses a distinctive, but not overwhelming, exotic touch. It is only fair to say that there is nothing like Heliophos on Santorini. The combination of beautifully decorated houses, perfect quiet, the totally unspoilt location just behind the caldera (but with a sea view!), the extremely warm and personal welcome you get from Sophia and the very reasonable prices make it simply unique.
