HISTORY OF ESPERAS
The story of Esperas begins in 1986 when Oia was still relatively undeveloped and unspoiled A surgeon and his wife, a dentist, were vacationing in Oia, and started looking for a plot to build a family vacation home. A close friend of the couple, who was an Oia native, suggested the rocky slope where Esperas Santorini stands today. The plot boundaries were not clearly outlined, the access was non-existent and the two doctors could only see a rocky slope. On top of everything, they were told there might be a couple of caves in the area, but with no certainty.
