This is an aerial view shot around 1940<\/b> showing the heart of Chelidonia Bay. The white round arch building at the right side of the photo is now the Chelidonia Villas reception<\/b>. Right below are the upmost two of our villas. In one of them the current owner was born.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

What once was the house of Triantafyllos’ great-grandmother<\/b> is now our Honeymoon Suite<\/b>. The oldest sales contract we have of one of the houses was closed in 1864<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Chelidonia Bay settlement<\/b> as a whole dates back to some year between 1200 and 900 B.C<\/b>, when Santorini was recolonized by the Spartans. The caves provide splendid isolation<\/b> – cool in summer, warm in winter. From the terraces you can observe every ship movement all over the Caldera.<\/b><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

<\/h3>
During the earthquake in 1956<\/b> the large house on top of the bay collapsed like other flat roof luxury buildings. The round arch and cave houses of the average Oians all withstood <\/b>. Ironically the damage came afterwards, when rescue workers poured all the rubble down from main street.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

From 1956 Chelidonia Bay lay deserted<\/b> until we started our business here in 1979. We had to excavate the houses <\/b>first.<\/p>\n

Now Chelidonia Bay should be the same again as our ancestors Nicolas Pitsikalis and Kapetan Manalis <\/b> had perceived it. Manalis was exiled for notorious smuggling in 1890, a few years later he was on a official mission smuggling money to Cretan resistance fighters<\/b> against the Turks. The archives of the Catholic Church in Thira list a Nicolas Pitsikalis as a \u00ab\u00a0captain on his own ship\u00a0\u00bb as early as 1628<\/b>.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
