We enjoyed our stay in Akrotiri after a few days in Oia- a welcomed, more quiet change of pace from the hustle bustle, with a new view of the sunset and caldera. The plunge pool was warm and the loft modern and welcoming.
Penelope and Lee were both such wonderful and kind hosts, providing restaurant recommendations and even arranging food delivery when we wanted to stay in. The unit received daily cleaning, and the breakfast that was provided (and delivered to our patio each morning!) was delicious- yogurts, omelette, pastries, coffee and orange juice- the works!) Lee also arranged a rental car for us when we arrived.
We had taken a sailing excursion in Oia the days before but wished we had taken it from Akrotiri as the port we departed from was much closer to Akrotiri (less travel time)- just a tip for planning your activities! :)
Our previous airbnb host arranged travel for us to this unit, however if you are traveling from the port and do not want to take the bus, we would recommend working with Penelope or Lee to arrange on your behalf. If you plan to go to Fira or Oia, rent a car or vehicle - it's a short distance but nice to have for the convenience of moving around. The rental agency Lee used roomie to the ferry after we returned the car.
Thank you Penelope and Lee! :)
