The hotel is clean and the people are very welcoming. We were shown the best places to visit in Santorini. The hotel is walking distance from Akrotiri beach and the site of ancient Akrotiri. The bus stops across the street to take you to Fira and Oia. Fira is about 30 minutes away and Oia about 1 hours by bus. The area where the hotel is is a little more desolate but in a nice way. It was nice to get away from the craziness of the tourist crowd in Fira and Oia. They had some great suggestions of things to do. The people are very friendly.
