Stay · The Cyclades, Greece
Katikies
Carved into the caldera at Oia, Katikies is all white steps, still pools and late sunsets.
Why we like it
It manages calm in the island’s busiest village.
The rooms
Cave-style suites, most with their own terrace and plunge pool.
The setting
On the cliff edge in Oia, a few steps from the village paths.
The details
Infinity pools, a cliffside restaurant and very good Assyrtiko.
Good to know
Many steps — pack light. Best in May, June or late September.
The Monocle Note
“Worth the climb.”
