hello, will you be able to share how much you spent for 4 days in santorini including airfare or ferry fare. thank you and hope to hear from you.
I came across your post and I am interested in staying in a private cave at Caveland. I was hoping you could give me more detail about the cave/the restroom is it clean? Is this hostel safe? Also, I’m assuming they provide you with clean sheets and towels but I just wanted to confirm with you because of the picture you posted with one bare cave:)
Thanks!
Hi Aleah, thank you for your Santorini post, i’ve enjoyed being inspired by your photos and stories. May i just ask for your opinion, i planned to bring a couple of days worth of Euro then just use atm there to get cash (i read atm forex is better then), are machines there easy to find? I’ve been reading of scary stories of cards being eaten by atm’s… Or should i bite the bullet and exchange all my money here at home, what would you suggest?

A cave?! I love it, what a great find and that price is much less than I thought (although I wonder if it is still the same price). Good one Aleah. This looks so peaceful and unique.
@ Van_Hailen: The hostel is perfect 🙂 I stayed 4 days in Athens and 4 days in Santorini. 3 days is not enough! So many sites to see in Athens. If I had more time, I would have stayed 2 weeks in Greece.
looks really interesting. and the hostel might be the perfect place to stay at when i do push my solo travels as well 🙂
How many days did you stay in Greece and where else did you go aside from Santorini. You think 3 days in Greece is fine? Or I would need a lot longer? thanks! 🙂
@ Jovie: Check out the Destinations categories. You can find posts there that will answer your questions about Europe. 🙂
hi aleah.. i just discover your blog and i’m in awe of your travelling. i’m really interested to konw more about your europe backpacking including the visas, total money spent, itirenary etc. because i’m hoping to do the same too. hope to hear from you soon..
@ Megan: I know right? That place is really wonderful. You were there during summer, so you had nice ocean views and barbecues and grape pickings. I was there during winter (or at least beginning of spring) so the outdoors didn’t look so good. I think Giannis and Kostas wouldn’t appreciate it if I published a picture of the pool at that time. 😀 The puppies are big now, but they had been given away. The mother’s still at Caveland though 🙂
Best kept secret in Santorini, but probably won’t be for long! 🙁 The pictures in this post don’t capture the gorgeous ocean views or decent-sized outdoor pool, either. My two person cave was really nicely furnished, and my boyfriend and I had an amazing time picking local grapes on the side of the road, cooking pasta in our cave kitchen, and enjoying wine on the roof of the cave as the sun set over the ocean…also there was a litter of puppies when we stayed in August; huge bonus!
@ Christian: Plan your Eurotrip na and make sure to go to Santorini!
@ Bailey: Don’t forget to mention to Kostas and Giannis that you’ve read this post. 🙂 Do give my regards to them!
I am dying to make it to Santorini in the next year! I will definitely keep this hostel in mind as 15 euro/night is usually what I want to spend! Thank you!
waah!! sobrang inggit ako! 😀
@ Dong: Yeah, that’s why I really love solo travel!
@ Tina: Hope you get the chance to stay there!
I want to experience go in this cave..Thank you for sharing some info..
it’s really when you go solo that makes a travel exciting as you interact more with the locals. pastel colored rooms. nice.
@ Monisima: Thank you. That’s a very nice compliment 🙂
@ Riz: Yeah, it’s really different. And it being in Santorini makes it all the more special!
The Cave room looks amazing. I hope to experience the hostel in the future.;) kakaiba kc xa. 🙂
It’s so beautiful there. I love the fact that I can feel like I’m traveling with you when reading your blog:)
@ Koen: Thanks. My stay there was made more memorable because of the friendliness of the two brothers. Their passion for Caveland can be seen in how they run the place. Hopefully, I’ll find the time to go back there!
Hi Aleah,
This hostel really seems like a perfect accomodation. The two owners really sound like passionate people who like to give this place a real personality…more people should have that attitude…combined with the heavenly environment, it really seems like dream-destination…beautiful pictures as well…and well-written as always…
@ Shawi: Yeah I was glad to find it. I usually don’t write about hostels in my blog but it deserves a special mention.
@ Marky: I stayed in hostels/BnBs in Germany and Italy, but Caveland is still the best. It’s unique kasi in its location and theme.
A grand way to live like a ‘cave’ man for the day. Aside from the scenic places, the hostels in Europe are well designed. Parang mga boutique hotels na dito.
hey Aleah, thanks for sharing. this is indeed a precious find.
it would be an interesting story to tell your grandchildren that you’ve slept in a cave. haha.
