I spent two weeks in a cave house down below the town --
 A small path lead  down to it--from there a almost straight drop to the water-- 
coming back from the tavernas late at night could be very interesting

I saw some of those cave houses. In Oia or Fira?

Oia  two bed room bath was out side and cut down another layer---
had a reffer and a double gas burner with running water from its own cistern--
The owner-a guy named Rosie --checked the water level ever day
He would scold us if he thought we used too much water the day before
Most of the water was shipped in

Oia is gorgeous. If I stay there I'm thinking Oia but both towns look great,

 Fira is perhaps more touristy and much larger--Of the two Oia would be the place to stay and Fira the place to party----all night long---

Thanks for that. Oia sounds more my kind of place.

In the Aegean the sea and sky are wonderfully blue, and they work that blue and white colour combination so well. Their flag reflects that colour coding.
