IKIES Traditional Houses

Kihli acquired the management of "IKIES Traditional Houses", a small upscale hotel in the romantic village of Oia on Santorini in 2003. Upon completion of a staged renovation project, IKIES was successfully repositioned in the competitive Santorini hotel market. Continuous investment in the property based on Kihli’s advice has resulted in impressive operating results with turnover and profitability increasing five-fold in as many years.

The hospitality experience at Ikies, designed and implemented by Kihli, has resulted in the radical increase of the hotel’s popularity which is at the top for Greece and Europe on websites such as www.tripadvisor.com. Ikies was also voted "Best Hidden Gem Europe 2008" on the particular website.
