When my husband and I chose Santorini as our honeymoon destination, we knew that it would be an adventure. Neither of us had ever been to Greece, although both of us had visited Europe a couple times in the past. We knew next to nothing about Santorini, other than its reputation as one of the most beautiful places on earth. My husband, being the more cautious of us, wasn't trustworthy of Airbnb, because neither of us had ever used the site before. Although I was optimistic, in all fairness I must say that we were both skeptical of how accurately the pictures and description would truly reflect Evmenia.

As a first time traveler to Greece and a first time user of Airbnb, I'm here to tell you that Evmenia far exceeded every expectation we had for our stay in Santorini. In fact, it's hard to imagine that a more perfect apartment exists on the island. The views that you see in the photos are exactly what you get to enjoy every day. You can practically touch the blue-domed church, one of the most notable landmarks on the island, and the panoramic view of the caldera is quite literally breathtaking. Every morning, I sat on the patio with my espresso and just savored the beauty at my fingertips. To your left and right are picturesque views of Oia, sprawling white along the cliffsides, just like you've seen in the movies.

In addition to the gorgeous views, the location of Evmenia couldn't be more perfect right in the heart of Oia. Just footsteps outside of your door, all of the town's sights await only a short walk away. The world famous Sunset Point, Ammoudi Bay, the town square...everything is right there, not to mention plenty of great shopping and delicious, authentic restaurants and tavernas.

Even though George and Stellina were in Athens during our trip, they made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Their assistant, John, sat with us for 45 minutes upon arrival and mapped out the entire island for us, suggesting restaurants and activities, and even leaving his contact info so that we could reach out to him to make reservations for a winery tour and catamaran cruise. We didn't have to lift a finger -- they took care of absolutely everything for us. It was like having a personal tour guide and assistant in addition to a fabulous, private villa. George and Stellina even arranged for a private dinner to be cooked at the villa for us on our last night in Santorini -- it was fabulous.

In short -- George and Stellina are incredible hosts with a beautiful residence that my husband and I are so lucky to have been able to experience. We can't imagine having a better stay anywhere, and we recommend Evmenia to everyone looking to feel at home in Santorini.
