Great location, we preferred Akrotiri to Oia and Fira. So much less crowded, basically no crowds! And quiet at night and early morning. The home is very clean, when you consider the location near the sea and the Sahara dust was blowing in...yet no dust at all inside when we arrived. There are some areas on the hallway floor that may appear dirty but it is just some grout that remained on the surface. The recommendations for where to dine and what beaches to visit were great. I highly recommend Glaros which is 1 minute walk from this house. So authentic and also laid back. We also loved The Cave of Nicholas, ditto for Popeye(Savvas) at Perissa Beach but the first 2 were more authentic.
Be aware there is not a washer at the house so pack a few extra things, and there were not beach towels. That was one miscommunication which meant we had to buy some our first day. there is a store within 50 meters that sells everything you would need. Had I known how much they had I would not have packed toiletries at all and avoided a checked bag and then waiting for it at the airport.
It's a short walk to red Beach and worth going to.
We liked Kamari Beach the best for snorkeling but there really is not much off shore to see, you have to go further out by boat. But water was warmer.
And the person who checks in every two days is so observant. Each time she restocked the food items she noted what we were consuming most and left more of those. The homemade marmalade is so good! Wonderful with yogurt!
