A Beautiful Slice of Oia’s Calm
If you’re dreaming of a peaceful escape with spectacular views, the Retreat Infinity Pool in Oia offers a perfect 4.5-hour window to relax amid the stunning surroundings of the Greek islands. For roughly half a day, you can lounge in an infinity pool with a view that’s worth a thousand postcards — think shimmering sea, rugged coastline, and the iconic white houses of Oia. The experience is priced reasonably considering the luxury on offer, including free drinks, fresh fruit, and all-day sunbed access.
What we love most? First, the luxury feel of the infinity pool — deep enough to cool off or shallow enough for lounging, all with unbeatable sea views. Second, the complementary sparkling wine at the “Hippie Van” bar – a fun, quirky touch that adds to the relaxed vibe.
A couple of considerations? Since this is an outdoor experience, bad weather can lead to cancellations, so it’s best to check the forecast. Also, this tour isn’t suitable for those seeking a cultural or sightseeing tour—think of it more as a serene, restorative break.
It suits travelers who want to unplug for a few hours in a scenic setting, prefer lounging over touring, and enjoy a good view with a side of luxury. If you’re after an authentic, relaxed experience with excellent value, this could be just the ticket.
