I had a wonderful time staying at the House of the Singing Birds. Eleni was away when I arrived, but her husband Costas met me at the bus stop and walked me to the house through the quiet and beautiful village of Finikia. He was extremely knowledgable and about the island. And was very kind. He knew some wonderful eateries, beaches and wineries. We followed up on his recommendations and they all came through. Had the best tuna I've ever eaten in one restaurant. Perfect! When Eleni returned from Athens it was an absolute pleasure to meet her.
The house is so peaceful, the space is exquisite. And their welcome was warm and genuine. I felt safe and looked after ( I was travelling alone, and meeting friends later on the island).
I would definitely return and recommend their place to every discerning traveller looking to enjoy the sights of Oia and Fira and the rest of the island but wish for a peaceful place to return and chill out away from the crowds!
