I have been traveling for a little over a month now, in regards to accommodation, I have seen the good, bad, and ugly.
Thea's was a lot of firsts for me. It was the first time, when walking home at night, I kinda felt like I was walking home. It was the first time, in a while, I felt like I could drop my guard because no one would try to take advantage of me. Also, it was the first time since leaving home that I REALLY ENJOYED a continental breakfast.
Thea's is a special place. Originally, it was supposed to be me and three friends staying in a room meant for 2-4 people. When I told the owner that we would like to add a 5th, he not only said okay, but declined further compensation. I'm not saying you should try this... We were busting at the seems, but it speaks to the good nature of your host.
A few other good points about Thea's: the rooms are cleaned by a magic fairy that comes when you are passed out by the pool... and they do a really good job. The "in room" cooking facilities are the nicest I have seen in a short term rental, and if there's something you need that's missing just ask... If they can help they will. The property is just outside Fira, only a few moments walk, but far enough to add a contrasting tranquility that staying inside Fira cannot offer. The pool is nice! The rooms are cheap for the area!
Stay, as long as it's the same building with Dimirtis and Kostos running it, it will be a good time, and a good value.
Thanks guys!
