My wife and I stayed for a night to catch the sunset in a quiet party of Oia. First off, Vlassis is a wonderful host. He went above and beyond in helping us find some traditional Greek foods and providing recommendations on where to go. Also, Muhammad was a lot of help with taking some of our bags on the walk to and from the hotel. Finally, the view from the hotel is all it's cracked up to be. Bet...

Worse still, when the staff guided us to the hot...
