This is where our story began.
In the early 1980s, Yiannis and Anna Chaidemenos reimagined a quiet corner of Oia, transforming two 17th-century wine caves into something the world had never seen before. What began as a pioneering family vision would go on to shape the future of luxury hospitality in Santorini.
Forty years later, Canaves Collection stands as a family legacy passed from one generation to the next, shaped by devotion, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Today, we begin celebrating four decades of stories, milestones, and moments that built Canaves Collection into what it is today.
This is only the beginning.
In the coming weeks, we will honor the people, places, and memories that define our journey, and continue writing the next chapter together.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Here’s to our past, our present, and everything still to come.

Days at Canaves Oia Suites are best spent where the water meets the horizon. Private pools, Caldera views, and the kind of stillness that only Santorini can offer.
Wander through a living landscape shaped by time.
Ancient olive trees, native plants, and quiet paths come together to create a garden where nature leads the way.
