Elena's place is far away from the mass tourism in Fira and Oia. If you are looking for a quite place to relax with a beautiful yard and a nice look over the town, then it is a very good address. During the preparation of our journey, communication with Katarina who took care about everything was quick and excellent. We arrived later than foreseen, but she was very flexible about our arrival time. The apartment is located on the outskirts of Emporio in a nice Greek neighborhood with friendly and helpful people. It is equipped with almost everything that you need. A car might be useful to bring baggage, water and food uphill to the apartment, but since the streets are very narrow we would recommend to leave it afterwards on a public parking in town and walk 10 minutes to Elena's place. In Emporio you will find supermarkets as well as nice restaurants nearby. After a day of traveling on this crowded island, we really enjoyed the silence, the cool breeze and a glass of wine on the terrace of Elena's place.
