History
Originally established in 2000 as Kirini Suites & Spa, the property was a pioneer of the luxury boutique hotel scene in Oia. It was later rebranded as Katikies Kirini and has more recently been integrated into the flagship Katikies Santorini as 'Gea House,' serving as a tranquil wellness-focused counterpart to its sister property.
The setting
Katikies Santorini - Gea House sits toward the east of Oia in Santorini. Oia is the caldera's evening theater: white cave houses, a sunset the island times dinner around, and a village that still moves on foot. Terraces and volcanic stone, then the steps down to Ammoudi when you want the water close. 2 km from Byzantine Castle Ruins. Overlooks Aegean Sea.
