The story of Canaves Oia begins in 1985 when the Chaidemenos family were among the first families to introduce tourism to the ... fishing village of Oia in Santorini. It was then that Yianni and Anna Chaidemenos transformed 17 th -century caves, once used to store wine, into designer-chic luxury hotel rooms. The birth of the Canaves brand led to hotel’s all-white minimalistic concept, which redefined the meaning of luxury accommodation in Santorini. High on the cliffs of Santorini, facing the ancient caldera, Canaves Oia Luxury Properties redefine hospitality as you know it. Welcome to Canaves Oia Hotel, Canaves Oia Suites, Canaves Oia Sunday Suites, Eden Villas and Epitome Santorini. From its inception, the theme of Canaves Oia has remained the same: to deliver unrivaled luxury experiences to guests so they can enjoy Santorini at it's best, all in one spot.
