It is a very unusual place, and a joy to explore. Among the tourist traps of Oia, it is a hidden gem, a wonderful surprise. Even people with no intention to buy or read books -and among the thousands who come to Santorini every year, those are a majority- enjoy exploring the tiny book cave, taking photographs of the tightly packed shelves, the quirky quips scribbled on the walls by the ever-changing staff, or the house cat, and they leave delighted, eager to tell their friends or anyone who would listen “hey, so I was walking in Oia and you’ll never guess what I found. It was like a hole in the ground”.
