Ilias and Tanya are why you want to book an Airbnb: The opportunity to meet locals hosts who were born to be in hospitality. They deepened our understanding of and connection to the special place they call home. They live right next door, and the feeling of the stay is as if you are their honoured guests. Doesn't get better than this, book if you are lucky enough to find availability. Beyond that, I would absolutely stay in Pyrgos!! The most "real" and charming town in Santorini, centrally located, with two truly excellent neighbourhood restaurants (Kantouni and Brusco) in the square below the apartment. Thanks for everything Tanya and Ilias!!
